Configure a PDF generation activity

  1. Add an activity to the map.

    By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.

  2. Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
  3. On the Type list, select Capture > PDF generation.
  4. On the Input document/folder list, select a document or folder variable to configure input for the PDF generation activity.
    • If you use a document variable, the defined PDF settings are reflected at runtime in the generated PDF.
    • If you use a folder variable, the defined PDF settings are reflected at runtime in the generated PDFs for all documents in the folder.
  5. On the PDF profile list, select a PDF generation profile. See Manage PDF generation profiles.
