Render

Specifies file extensions which should be excluded from the rendering process. Each file extension in the lexicon should be in lower case and preceded by a "." character.

Specifies file extension mappings. For example, there are many different file extensions for a text file (.txt, .log, .readme, etc.). While the .log extension may not have a print verb registered, the .txt file extension does. The entries in this lexicon provide such a mapping for the rendering process. Each lexicon entry should contain the original file extension as the value, and the replacement file extension as the replacement value. All file extensions must be in lower case and preceded by a "." character.

If true, any existing PDF versions will be overwritten. If false, folders with existing PDF versions will be skipped.

The maximum number of pages in a rendered document. If a print job is detected which includes more than the specified number of pages, the print job will be canceled and the document will be considered a render error.

If enabled, Native PDF files will be rendered (printed) and saved to the Batch Folder. Otherwise, the Native PDF file will be left as is.

When rendering multipart objects such as emails or ZIP files, indicates what should happen if an unknown file type is encountered. If no disposition options are enabled, the item will complete successfully with no indication that a problem occurred.

When rendering multipart objects such as emails or ZIP files, indicates what should happen if a rendering error occurs. If no disposition options are enabled, the item will complete successfully with no indication that a problem occurred.

If set to true, documents will be flagged in cases where recoverable PDF conversion issues are encountered. During the rendering of certain file types, existing PDF documents with minor corruptions may be encountered. By enabling this property, the document will be flagged when a recoverable corruption is encountered and the repair is successful. If Grooper's attempt to repair is unsuccessful, an exception will occur and the current Error Disposition will be followed.

Allows damaged PDFs which cannot be combined using normal methods to be combined as images. In some cases, it may not be possible to open a damaged PDF and extract the pages, but it may be possible to render the document pages to an image. If this option is enabled, when normal PDF merging fails, and attempt will be made to merge the PDF files as images. If this option is disabled, an error will be raised when normal merging fails.

Indicates how the body of mail messages should be rendered. Can be one of the following values:

• None - The message body will not be rendered.
• PreferText - The message body will be rendered as plain text. If the message does not include plain text, it will be rendered as HTML.
• PreferHTML - The message body will be rendered as HTML. If the message does not include HTML, it will be rendered as plain text.

If true, then attachments of mail messages will be rendered.

If enabled, appends a page to the end of the document containing the RFC822 headers.

If enabled, external image resources used in HTML message bodies will be downloaded as necessary.

The timeout, in seconds, for downloading external resources.

The size, in inches, of each PDF page.

The size, in inches, of margins around the edge of each page.

Specifies the font that will be used. Can be one of the following values:

• Courier (PDF)
• Courier-Bold (PDF)
• Courier-Oblique (PDF)
• Courier-BoldItalic (PDF)
• Helvetica (PDF)
• Helvetica-Bold (PDF)
• Helvetica-Oblique (PDF)
• Helvetica-BoldOblique (PDF)
• Times-Roman (PDF)
• Times-Bold (PDF)
• Times-Oblique (PDF)
• Times-BoldOblique (PDF)
• Plus Locally-Installed Windows Fonts

Specifies the font size that will be used.

A Data Type used for generating responses to application-raised dialog boxes. When an application displays a dialog box during rendering, a text representation of the dialog box is generated, including the title of the dialog box, the text from each control, and the text from each button. To generate an automated response to a dialog box, the Data Type specified here must define a Data Format which matches text on the dialog box, and returns the name of the button to be clicked as a literal value in the Output Format.

For example, consider a scenario where the following dialog box is showing up in the Grooper log as unresolved:

Microsoft Office Excel
This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated.

• To change the source of links, or attempt to update values again, click Edit Links.
• To leave the links as is, click Continue.

{Continue} {Edit Links...}

To handle this dialog, a Data Format could be create with a Pattern of 'links that cannot be updated' and a literal value of 'Continue' in the Output Format. When this application dialog box is encountered, the Data Type will match the text on the dialog, and the button named 'Continue' will be automatically clicked.

A list of button names which will be automatically clicked in cases where none of the formats defined in the Dialog Response Data Type produce a match. Supports regular expression syntax. Matching is not case-sensitive.

The timeout period, in seconds, for a print job to start after the printing application is launched.

The timeout period, in seconds, for the output file to be generated after the print job has completed printing.

The amount of time, in seconds, for the thread to sleep after recycling the print spooler service.

The amount of time, in seconds, for the thread to sleep after recycling the print spooler service.

The path to which the Grooper Printer Driver is configured to output PDF files.

Displays the print queue for the default printer.

Displays a list of file types on the local machine for which a shell print verb is registered. This property is for informational purposes only. At runtime, rendering will rely on Windows file type registrations, therefore it is not necessary to configure any file type registrations here.

Determines what happens when an error occurs processing an activity.

The maximum number of consecutive errors, after which a critical stop will be raised. A critical stop will cause services to stop running.

Specifies the parallel processing mode for this activity. Can be one of the following values:

• Multiple - Multiple instances can run concurrently.
• PerMachine - Only a single instance can run per machine.
• Single - Only a single instance can run per Grooper repository.
