When you merge an input document (either XML or a spooled file) with a template, then the merged result is stored in an internal format called intermediate.
This format contains a 'recipe' for the output pages.
This is one of the file types/payloads, that can be handled by the InterFormNG2 workflow.
The intermediate format can be generated with these two components:
From template to intermediate format
This component merge the input document in the payload with an InterFormNG2 template.
From ITPL to intermediate format
This merge the input document in the payload with an InterFormNG template. Please notice, that you do not need to specifically use this component, when you want to merge a document with an InterFormNG template into e.g. PDF, print or email. You can use the standard components: Create PDF file, Create PDF email and Print for that.
The intermediate payload can be used as input for many workflow components, but these are especially relevant:
This outputs a payload, that is DP.
This outputs a payload, that is EML.
This outputs a payload, that is PCL.
This outputs a payload, that is PDF.
This outputs a payload, that is ZPL.
