Capture Fields Processor
The Capture Fields Processor action task is used to update the Capture database using
information received from an incoming PGC file, which generally originates from a
communication by the Anoto penDirector.
This task is put into effect in the following use cases and example processes:
l Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l Capture Web Manager Workflow
Input
This task requires a PGC file that has been obtained from an Anoto Digital Pen that was used
to write on documents generated from the same PlanetPress Workflow installation.
Processing
The PlanetPress Capture Fields Processor action task receives and processes the
information sent by the Anoto digital pen and updates all the documents in the PlanetPress
Capture Database using the information from the pen. Any ink in the pen is added as an EPS
(image) layer on the PDF inside the Capture Database. If a specific document needs to be
closed to release its pattern, 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.
From version 7.5 and onwards, ICR is done on the ink, if the "Perform ICR Recognition" option
is checked.
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
