Pre-defined rules
RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat has 11 pre-defined rules that apply markup to, set media and finishing options for,
or extract data from specific pages within each document in a PDF file. For example,
you can use a pre-defined rule to place an image on all front pages in each document.
The table below describes each pre-defined rule.
Pre-defined rules
| Rule | Definition |
|---|---|
| All Front Pages | All front-facing pages in each page group. If the rule is used to define a document property, the value extracted is from the last front page in a page group. |
| All Back Pages | All back-facing pages in each page group. This rule does not apply to a simplex job. If the rule is used to define a document property in a duplex job, the value extracted is from the last back page in a page group. |
| All Pages | Markup prints on all pages in each page group. Document properties values are extracted from the last page (either front or back) in a page group. If a rule does not have a condition with a pre-defined rule, RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat applies the rule to All Pages. |
| First Front Only | First page in each page group. |
| First Back Only | First back page in each page group. This rule does not apply to simplex jobs. |
| Second Front Only | Second front-facing page in each page group. |
| Second Back Only | Second back-facing page in each page group. This rule does not apply to simplex jobs or to jobs that do not have a second back page. |
| Last Front Only | Last front-facing page in each page group. |
| Last Back Only | Last back of each page group. This rule does not apply to simplex jobs. |
| Last Page Only | Last page of each page group (front or back is not a factor). |
| No Pages | No pages. To keep a rule from being applied, you can add a condition with No Pages = True. |
