TransformWithAdvancedFeature

A step that is based on this step template calls the Advanced Transform feature to convert a job from one data stream to another.

Job property defaults

Usage notes

  • The list of data streams available for the Transform input stream and Transform output stream depends on the transforms that are installed. If those lists are empty, the license keys for the input and output data stream transforms are not installed. You must download and install trial or purchased license keys for the transforms.
  • If you transform AFP files that include object containers with other data stream types, you must install the appropriate input transform to avoid an error. For example, if an AFP file includes a TIFF image in an object container, you must install the InputImage transform. If an AFP file includes a PDF page in an object container, you must install the InputPDF transform.
  • Some properties do not apply to all input and output data streams. If a property does not apply to the data streams you choose, the values are ignored and those fields are grayed out on the properties notebook.
  • You can add this step to a workflow multiple times.
