7.5

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 group: Determines a Title for the document. This title is accessible in the Capture Database and
can be used to search for a document or retrieve a list of document using other tasks.
l From metadata:Use the Document Title property as set in the PlanetPress Capture section of a PlanetPress
Design document's properties.
l Custom:Use the title in the input field as set by the user. The field is variable so the title can be set on a per-
document basis using data or metadata selections.
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.
l Simulate pattern area on final document:When retrieving the document from the database with the Get Cap-
ture Document, each Capture Field is simulated using a grey box. This box is not a pattern and cannot be used with the
Anoto Digital Pen, however this option can be used to keep the same overall design of your document.
Examples &Use Cases
This task is put into effect in the following use cases and example processes:
l Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l Capture Web Manager Workflow
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
