Configuring rendering option properties

For most publishing jobs, the basic options of the rendering profile that is assigned to the job are sufficient. When they are not sufficient, rendering option properties can be configured. These are properties of the source documents that contain the values for the rendering options. By setting the rendering options using document property values, the settings are independent of the rendering profiles that are used to generate the renditions and the settings can be specific to each document.

Note We recommend that you use the properties in the Rendition Properties property set for this purpose.

To configure the rendering option properties:

In Meridian Enterprise Server Configurator, in the Data Exchange group, click Jobs. The All Jobs page appears and lists the existing publishing jobs. The jobs are grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they have been assigned.
Double-click the publishing job that you want to configure. The Overview page appears.
On the menu, click RENDERING. The Rendering page appears.
In the page header, click RENDERING OPTION PROPERTIES. A page that lists the mappable rendering options appears.
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
