as an EPS(image)layer on the PDFinside the Capture Database. If a specific document needs to be closed to release its pat-
tern, this task does so.
During processing, ink is always applied to the document first and then the logic is applied for releasing patterns. This means
that even if a document is closed by a field set asFinal that was checked first, ink present in other fields will still be applied to
the document.
Error Handling
If the Capture Fields Processor generates a critical error during the processing of any document in the PGCfile, all of its actions
will be reverted. If your PGCfile contains multiple documents, even those documents that were processed before will revert.
It is strongly suggested to backup your PGCfile before using this task and to create an error handling process to capture these
errors.
Logical errors do not cause this task to exit. For example, if a List Item Capture Field is set to only accept a single option but
contains ink in more than one option, or if a Capture Field that does not accept re-writing receives more ink, the task will still
complete. The inks that are relevant to logical errors are still added to the PDFdocument, but they are added on a separate
"error"layer.
Output
This task outputs the PGCfile it received along with metadata that contains the documents that have been updated by this
task. The metadata can be used to do post-processing of the file using Capture Conditions, or directly through other metadata
tools. The structure of the output metadata added by Capture is the following:
l Document Level
l CapCloseDate:Date at which the document was closed by Capture Field Generator. Blank if the document is
still open.
l CapDocID:The database IDof the document. This field is useful especially if using the Capture API since the
IDcorresponds to the itembyIDfunction.
l CapDocName:The name of the document as specified in the Capture Field Generator.
l CapOpenDate:The date at which the document was created by the Capture Field Generator.
l CapPatternSequence:The value of the pattern sequence assigned to the document.
l CapPGCName:The name of each PGCfile that was used to update this document (will repeat for each
PGCfile)
l CapStatus:Current status of the document:
l 0:Open
l 1:Closed by an optional field
l 2:Closed by a mandatory field
l 3:Closed by a final field
l CapTemplateName:Name of the PlanetPress document used to generate the document.
l Page Level:
l CaptureField:Information on each capture field on the page. Repeated for each capture field that is present.
There is currently no method of obtaining the information from a PGC except through a successful processing of this
task, or via the use of the PlanetPress Capture API within a Script (see Using Scripts)
