XMLEmulation
l XMLdata is represented in a tree structure which corresponds to the data in the XMLfile. Each node of the XMLcan be
expanded to see the nodes under it. See "XML Emulation" (page 95).
PDF Emulation
l If you use a PDF emulation, the Data Pane displays the data as you would see it in any PDFreader.
l A new zoom dropdown list is displayed to let you set the zoom in percentage or fit the PDFto the window or the width
of the window.
l A new status bar, displaying the (Left, Top) and (Right, Bottom) coordinate pairs, is shown under the Data Pane.
Metadata tab
The Metadata tab allows users to either generate the metadata file for their active sample data file, or to associate an exist-
ing metadata file to their document.
The Sample Metadata Filename is the path to the metadata file describing the current sample data file. Buttons on the
rightcan be usedto load metadata from a file or to save the current metadata to a file.
The Generated PressTalk Expression is a PlanetPress Talk command corresponding to the current attribute or field being
selected. Its value is editable, which allows the user to customize the string returned by the metadata selector.
The Search options defines how to retrieve the value of a given metadata element (attribute or field) when it is not present
at the current metadata level. The possible search options are:
l Search from a specific location only.
l Search from level X to Job, where X can be any metadata level (Job, Group, Document, Datapage, Page). With this
search option, if the selected metadata element does not exist at the specified level, then it will be searched for, start-
ing at the lowest metadata level as specified in the search option, then one level up until the element is found.
The Raise an error if the field does not exist option allows to control what to do when a given metadata element is not
found, regardless of the search option.
The Data page box lets the user choose which data page metadata elements to be displayed.
The Metadata level is a treeview allowing users to select the metadata level from which to display or select metadata ele-
ments.
TheAttributes list displays all metadata attributes describing the current metadatalevel,as selected in the Metadata Level
treeview, for the current data page, as selected in theData Page control.
The Production information list displays all metadata fields describing the current metadatalevel,as selected in the Meta-
data Level treeview, for the current data page, as selected in theData page box.
Data Page
A data page is the amount of data that your data file, through your emulation, is passing through a single document. This can
mean one or more lines of a CSVfile, a PDFpage, or a certain number of lines of a text file.
Adata page can ignored and print no page at all, or it can be used to generate multiple pages when printing. Unless you are
using an N-Up object however, you cannot use multiple data pages to generate a single physical page.
To configure what appears in a data page, you use the Data Selector to specify emulation parameters.
