- Trouble Handling : This tab contains information about how to handle errors when processing a PDF document. PAS can send notification emails whenever there is an error. Additionally, the server can save or send the file that caused the problem to a location so that it can be reviewed and the problem resolved.
Additionally, there will be another tab that will vary according to the job type. For instance, when creating a job to print incoming PDF documents, the tab will collect information about the print job, such as the printer name, margin handling, etc. The functional tabs currently available in PDF Automation Server are:
- Print PDF. Information about how to print the file, such as the printer name.
- Convert To Images. Information about how to convert the PDF to images, such as the image format.
- Clear Security. Information about how to open the document before clearing its security.
