Source file for attachment

Specifies the full path or symbolic name of the PDF file you want to extract documents from. The documents are attached to each email sent by the EmailDocuments step. You can also select a step resource object as the value for the property instead of providing a path and filename. Using a step resource lets you change the specific file without editing all of the workflows that contain the step that uses the file.

To attach a document from the current PDF file in the job's spool directory, specify: ${getFileName(print,pdf,read)}.

To attach a document from a different version of the PDF file in the job's spool directory, with the name jobID.original.pdf for example, specify: ${getFileName(original,pdf,read)}
