Generating output
When merged with a record set, the templates made in the Designer can generate three types
of output: Print, Email and Web.
You can print and send email from the Designer, but if you want to do this in an automated
process, or if you want to produce web pages that are not attached to an email, you need to
build Workflow processes with OL Connect tasks. For more information, see: "Workflow
processes in OL Connect projects" on page179.
Print output
Connect supports a number of different types of print outputs. These include:
l PCL
l PDF
l PostScript (including the PPML, VIPP and VPS variants)
Print templates (also called Print sections), are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed directly to a printer or a printer stream/spool file, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print
output" on page1470).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page1499.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
To dynamically select a section for output, use a Control Script; see "Control Scripts" on
page913.
There is a number of settings in the Print context and Print sections that have an impact on how
the Print context is printed; see "Print settings in the Print context and sections" on page484.
To split the Print output into several files, see "Splitting printing into more than one file" on
page1485.
