Collection contents (that is, rendition objects) can be used as input source for assembling a new PDF object. The PDF is a new object which is associated to the source Collection object.
The availability of this feature is dependant upon the installation of other products in your system.
This feature is performed using the Transformation feature of Digital Asset Manager. For more information on transformations, see Renditions and Transformations.
To merge the contents of a collection into a PDF:
Navigate to and select a collection.
Select Tools > Transform > More Formats.
The Transform wizard appears.
In the Select Transformation tab, select the Merge Collection to PDF transformation profile and click Next.
In the Save As tab, select Create a New Object and click Next.
The New Object Definition tab enables you to enter properties for the new object. The only required attribute is a name for the object. Do the following:
Enter a name for the new object. The parent file name is entered by default.
Enter a title for the object.
Select an object type.
Click Edit to enter an alternate permission set to the object. The permission set of the parent object is used by default.
Click Edit to apply a lifecycle to the object.
Select the location for the new object. You have two options:
Same as parent file
This is selected by default. The new object is placed in the same cabinet or folder location as the original object.
New location
This requires you to select a new location.
Select Save Transformation if you want to perform this transformation each time the parent object is versioned.
Click Finish.
The transformation request is immediately sent to the appropriate queue for processing.
