In order to properly build a PlanetPress Capture workflow, it is very important to understand the
terminology, implications and limitations of the technology. This is the first part of this section:
l "Capture Information" on page148
l "Database Considerations (ODBC)" on page152
l "Security Considerations" on page154
l "20,000 Patterns" on page155
l "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page163
There are also 2 external tools that are used to communicate the pen's data to PlanetPress
Workflow:
l "Anoto penDirector" on page161
l "PlanetPress Mobile Application" on page162
Creating a Capture-Ready document
This is done when creating your PlanetPress Design document. Adding one or more
PlanetPress Capture fields to a PlanetPress Design document creates a capture-ready
document, which can be used in the workflow. For more information, see the PlanetPress
Design User Guide.
Generating the Capture Patterns
Once your document is created, the Capture Fields Generator action task is used to apply the
capture patterns to each of your documents and send them to the printer. This printing process
will consist of:
l Retrieving your data file.
l Creating metadata (See "Create Metadata" on page422).
l Separating each individual document in the metadata (this can be done in your Design
document or through the "Metadata Level Creation" on page431 action task).
l Using the "Capture Fields Generator" on page404 action task to generate the capture
patterns
l Printing your documents.
