About PlanetPress Image
What is PlanetPress Image?
PlanetPress Image is a mutli-threaded service that can generate image files in PDF, JPEG and TIFF format. As the PlanetPress
Suite Workflow Tools and PlanetPress Image are compliant AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture, these formats can also be
used.
These image files can be archived and, depending on whether you use a PlanetPress Image output task or a Digital Action
action task, sent via email. Note you can use PlanetPress Search, another program included in PlanetPress Suite, to search
through archived PDF files.
All raster image files, such as GIFs or JPEGs, generated by PlanetPress Image are portrait oriented.
PlanetPress Image can be installed on any computer on your network and process requests coming from tasks performed by
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools on other workstations. You may choose to run it on every computer where PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools is running, but you may also choose to run it on computers more or less dedicated to PlanetPress Image. Note
that in the case of Digital Action output tasks, PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools and the PlanetPress Image service must be
running on the same computer.
The minimum time required to generate a PlanetPress Image document is approximately 10 times longer on Win-
dows 2000 than on Windows XP/2003.
PlanetPress Image Output Task Properties
PlanetPress Image output tasks are used to make request to PlanetPress Image, which creates image files which it then
archives or emails.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Image properties you configure in the task’s properties dialog box, there are con-
figurable options common to all PlanetPress Image outputs processed by a given computer (see PlanetPress Image User
Options). Note that those options are specific to each PlanetPress Image installation and that they are immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PlanetPress Image output tasks. For information on those properties shared
by various types of tasks, such as Other and On error properties, refer to Configurations, Processes and Tasks.
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for Outlook to be opened while
PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out automatically. To correct this, make sure to logon to Win-
dows on the PlanetPress server using the same login that PlanetPress is using, and open Outlook before starting the
PlanetPress services. You could also use a startup process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
PlanetPress Image output task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Host: Select the IP address of the PlanetPress Image host to which you want the request to be sent.
l Refresh: Click to update the list of IP addresses displayed in the Host drop-down list box.
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be generated with that doc-
ument. To use a document chosen at runtime for each job, enter a dynamic document name using a combination of
text, variables and data selections. To enable the dynamic document name box, click inside it. To disable it, press
Enter. Note that in the later case, you must be certain that the documents that will be chosen at runtime will in fact be
available locally or at the selected host.
