2021.1

PlanetPress Connect installation considerations
The PlanetPress Suite could run on a computer with a minimum of only 1GB of RAM available.
The PlanetPress Connect Server with PlanetPress Workflow 2021.1, by default, requires 8GB
of RAM, but if you intend on using the new PlanetPress Connect Designer on the same
computer, you should consider having at least 16GB of RAM available. See "System
requirements" on page31.
Distributed installation or not
You can decide to install PlanetPress Connect modules all on the same computer or have each
module on a different computer. Reasons for this could be:
l There is insufficient memory in the computer currently running PlanetPress Workflow
2021.1 to also run PlanetPress Connect Server.
l You want to use a more powerful computer with more RAM and more cores to run the
Server to achieve maximum performance (see "Performance considerations" on
page28).
What do I gain by upgrading to PlanetPress Connect?
When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect, PlanetPress Watch users receive key features of
PlanetPress Office such as the following:
l Ability to input data from PDF
l Ability to print your PlanetPress Suite documents on any Windows printer (no need for
printer licenses)
l Ability to create standard PDF output from your PlanetPress Suite documents
l Even if you don’t recreate your existing PlanetPress Suite documents, you can easily
change your workflow to convert your output to PDF, then output them in PCL to any
device supporting it.
l The full version of PlanetPress Connect can open your company to the digital world by
enabling you to send HTML responsive emails as well as creating dynamic responses
and interactive web pages.
You can reuse the content of your existing documents and map it onto responsive
documents that can be sent by email in full HTML glory and/or make them available as
native HTML web pages using the latest CSS/JavaScript features.
