occur. This is to ensure that if such an error occurs most of your document sequences will get generated and you will not have
to start the job over from the beginning.
Processing
The Capture Fields Generator Action Task uses an existing PlanetPress Design document containing Capture Fields and
assigns a unique Capture Pattern to each printed page. The task then locks each pattern that it used so it cannot be reassigned
to any other document.
The whole job is then converted into a PDFfile which is stored, without the patterns, in the Capture Database. This PDFfile is
later used by the "Capture Fields Processor Action Task" (page 199) to be merged with ink from the pen. At the same time the
output is genereated, either as a PDF(including the patterns)or an Optimized PostScript Stream file. This means that regard-
less of the output, a PDFis always generated in the database.
If any error occurs during processing, such as running out of patterns while generating the job, every action made by
this task will be rolled back as if they hadn't happened.
Output
The Capture field Generator action Task will output either a PDFand Metadata, or an Optimized PostScript Stream file without
Metadata.
Properties
Pattern Generator action task properties are as follows:
l Capture Document: Choose the PlanetPress Design capture ready document that will be used to generate the out-
put including the capture fields.
l Document Title:Enter a name for the document that will be saved inside the PlanetPress Capture Database. This
name should be unique and recognizable and will be used later to retrieve the documentform using the GetCapture
Document Action Task.
l Output Format group
l Continue process with optimized postscript(no metadata):The job file coming out of the task will
be a PostScript file that can be sent to any postscript printer or saved locally.
l Continue process with PDF(with new metadata):The job file coming out of the task will be a
PDFwith accompanying metadata for that PDF(previous metadata is lost).
l Override document pattern sequence:Check to override the pattern sequence as entered in your PlanetPress
Design document properties. Once checked, enter a new pattern sequence in the Pattern Sequence box.
l Fail if document doesn't contain at least one capture field:If the static or dynamic document that tries to
pass through this task does not contain any capture fields, an error will be generated.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 53).

Capture PGC Splitter Task
The Capture PGCSplitter task can be used to separate each document into its own PGCfile so they can be processed sep-
arately. The splitter then sends each document PGCto the next action, which should be the Capture Fields Processor task.
