Knowing this, the best practice when creating fields is that they have, at the very least, a 7mm margin on each size of the
actual area you want to capture from. For example, an effective 30mm wide pattern will actually be 44mm wide using these
margins. The margin should be for both the vertical size and the horizontal size.
Distance between patterns
In implementations where a lot of patterns need to be close together (a questionnaire, multiple choice question, checkmarks,
etc) it is important to understand the risk of then pen writing across multiple fields on the paper. People using the pen may, for
example, make a very broad checkmark which would bleed over to the next field. This can cause PlanetPress Capture to
detect the ink as being present, and thus trigger whatever that field does.
Basic Functional Capture Workflow
This workflow is the most basic and simple workflow that you can use with PlanetPress Capture. In small implementations
with only one simple document, this may be the only thing required for a functional workflow since, even in this simple state, it
can be enough to automate the archive of your digital documents.
The workflow requires two separate processes that will be triggered at different times. The
first process, the generator process,produces printable output by merging a data file
with a Capture-Ready PlanetPress Design document. For each document page produced,
an Anoto Pattern is assigned to the document and locked, and a page is produced in the out-
put. Depending on the setup used, this may produce on or more print jobs or PDFs as an
output.
