# combine-with-cut-pattern

> Learn how the combine-with-cut-pattern task applies cutting lines to print files.

This task applies a mask with cutting lines to the print file. If the file consists of multiple pages, the specified _cut pattern_ is applied to each page.

To apply a separate mask to each page, split the print file into single pages and add a separate `combine-with-cut-pattern` task to the processing pipeline for each page.

## Parameters

- `inputArtifacts` (array of strings) - The rendering results in the PDF format. 
- `cutPatternId` (string) - The ID of a PSD file with cut lines stored in the **Assets** > **Images** section.
- `cutPatternName` (string) - The name of a PSD file with cut lines stored in the **Assets** > **Images** section. This value is used if the `cutPatternId` parameter was not specified.
- `cutPatternFolder` (string) - The location of a PSD file with cut lines in the **Assets** > **Images** section. This value is used if the `cutPatternId` parameter was not specified.
- `cutPatternCenterPointX` (number) - Explicitly specifies the center of the mask along the X-axis in points.
- `cutPatternCenterPointY` (number) - Explicitly specifies the center of the mask along the Y-axis in points.

If the cut pattern file has the custom fields **CenterPointX** and **CenterPointY**, they will be used instead of the `cutPatternCenterPointX` and `cutPatternCenterPointY` parameters.

If the `cutPatternCenterPointX` and `cutPatternCenterPointY` values are not specified, and the cut pattern file does not have the custom fields **CenterPointX** and **CenterPointY**, the geometric center of the cut pattern will be used as the center.

## Example

``` json
{
    "description": "Combine rendered design with cut pattern",
    "name": "combine-with-cut-pattern",
    "type": "combine-with-cut-pattern",
    "inputArtifacts": [
        "rendered-design"
    ],
    "parameters": {
        "cutPatternName": "Cut-pattern-1.pdf",
        "cutPatternFolder": "/"
    },
    "outputArtifacts": [
        "combined"
    ]
}
```

To apply a cut pattern to multiple pages, repeat this block for each page.
