What does PlanetPress Connect Contain?
PlanetPress Connect is comprised of the following modules:
l PlanetPress Workflow 8. This is the natural evolution of PlanetPress® Workflow 7
(Watch, Office or Production).PlanetPress Workflow 8 is very similar to PlanetPress®
Workflow 7 version but contains new features and has the ability to run PlanetPress
Connect, PlanetPress Suite, PrintShop Mail and PReS Documents.
o
Imaging for PlanetPress Connect is available as an option. It contains:
l PlanetPress Fax
l PlanetPress Image
l PlanetPress Search
o
PlanetPress Capture is still supported in PlanetPress Workflow 8 but only with
documents created with the PlanetPress Design 7.
l PlanetPress Connect Designer. This is the design tool based on completely new
technology. It is not backwards compatible and therefore cannot open PlanetPress
Design 7 documents. If you need to continue editing those documents you can keep
doing so in PlanetPress Design 7.
l PlanetPress Connect Server. This is the core of the Connect technology. This new
module automates the merging of data with your new templates and generates the output.
It is required for PlanetPress Workflow 8 to handle templates created with the
PlanetPress Connect Designer. It can be installed on the same or a different machine as
PlanetPress Workflow 8.
IMPORTANT: PlanetPress Connect does not contain the PlanetPress Design 7.
GOOD NEWS: PlanetPress Connect does not need any printer licenses to print from
PlanetPress Connect or PlanetPress Suite. It can also print PrintShop Mail 7 and PReS 6
documents if these programs are licensed.
