Create File Document Step

Use the Create File Document step to define a document variable by referencing the file name you supply.

Create File Document Customizer Window

The Create File Document step does not read the file. The script reads the file when the document variable is used by another step, such as the Write Document step or the Create XML Document step.

Note	The Create File Document step (a Document step) is exactly equivalent in functionality to using the FILE[filename] expression form for a Document.
