General
This type of action can be used to splitted parts of a previously created report document to the file system.
Example: Let's suppose you have created a report document using a Create Report Document Action which results in a PDF file with 5 pages. If you want to save each of these pages individually to the file system, you can use this action.
The following table shows which file types are supported to be splitted and how they will be splitted:
File Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Adobe PDF Document | Splitted by page. |
| Microsoft Excel Workbook | Splitted by worksheet. |
| Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation | Splitted by slide. |
| Microsoft Word Document | Splitted by page. |
Properties
This type of action has the following properties:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Report Document | The report document that shall be splitted and saved to the file system. |
| Target File Type | The file type in which to save individual splitted parts to the file system. The available file types depend on the file type of the splitted report document. |
| DPI | The DPI in which to render the individual part images. This property is only available if the property Target File Type is set to an image file type. |
| Output Path | An Expression that returns a string that contains the output path for individual files (see below). The file type extension does not have to be returned by the expression, because Mail & Deploy will add it automatically based on the selected Target File Type. Mail & Deploy will automatically create required sub-directories. |
Output Path Expression
Within the Expression of the Output Path property an additional parameter PageNumber is available that contains the page number of the processed part.
Example
Let's supposed you have the following expression:
Mail & Deploy Expression
"C:\Temp\Report\Page_" & [PageNumber]
This would lead to the first page to be exported to C:\Temp\Report\Page_1, the second page to C:\Temp\Report\Page_2 etc.
