XML Emulation
XML data emulations allow you to capture data emanating from web databases, E-mail fulfillment, ecommerce, and general
XML database engines. In XML emulation, the data elements in markup language format are organized in a folder view with a
root node and sub-level nodes. Depending on the document configuration, a data page can be associated with a sublevel ele-
ment contained in an XML data file much in the way a data page can be associated with an individual record in a CSV emu-
lation. When you set-up an XML emulation, you define whether to separate the data by the root or the second level element.
Note that when XML data is merged with PlanetPress Design documents on a printer DOCTYPE and ENTITY tags are ignored.
Also note that characters referenced using the ϧ syntax are limited to values ranging from 000 (�) to 256
(Ā).
XML emulation options
l Root element (entire file): Select this option to associate all the data within the XML file with a single data page.
l Second Element: Select this option to associate each second level element within the data file with with a different
data pages.
PDF Emulation
PDF Emulations allow you to capture data from fully composed documents in a PDF format.
PDF Emulation slightly differs from other PlanetPress Suite emulations: with other emulations, data is read either one line at a
time or one character at a time, while PDF emulation processes the input data from the PDF file in such a fashion that every
