Create Metadata
Creates all the Metadata that is either the information about a data file, or the result of the
merging between a data file and a PlanetPress Design document.
For more information about Metadata see: "Metadata" on page69.
This task is put into effect in the following example processes.
l "Example: Daily sales report from PDF files" on page192
l Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l Capture Web Manager Workflow
Note that Capture can only be used with PlanetPress Suite.
Input
A data file in any supported emulation (see "About data emulation" on page54).
Processing
If the Do not use a document (passthrough) option is used, the Metadata will contain a
single Job, Group and Document level, as many data page levels as there are data pages
(pages in a PDF, levels in XML, rows in a CSV, etc) in the file, and one page level per data
page.
Note
In PlanetPress Design, this step is equivalent to a &metamode variable value of 1.
If a data file and PlanetPress Design document are selected, the Metadata is generated by
merging the data file and document and retrieving only the Metadata generated by this merge.
The Metadata levels will reflect those defined in the document, including separation for Group
and Document, Metadata fields, etc. Note that:
l In PDF emulation, the size and orientation attributes for each page are set in the
Metadata. In all other emulations, those attributes remain blank.
