Field/Field set Type Description
Label String Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if there are more than one of the same Snap in the pipeline.
Pages String
Required. Specify pages or the range of pages that you want to split into separate PDF documents. For a range of pages, use a hyphen and separate each page or range with a comma. For example:
  • 2–17 (take the content of pages 2 through 17 and create a separate PDF document)
  • 1–3, 5–7, 10 (take the content of pages 1 through 3, 5 through 7, and page 10 to create a separate PDF document)

Default value: N/A

Example: 1–3, 5–7
Snap execution Dropdown list Choose one of the three modes in which the Snap executes.
Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
