PDF Emulation
l
If you use a PDF emulation, the Data pane displays the data as you would see it in any
PDF reader.
l A new zoom drop-down list is displayed to let you set the zoom in percentage or fit the
PDF to the window or the width of the window.
l A new status bar, displaying the (Left, Top) and (Right, Bottom) coordinate pairs, is shown
under the Data pane.
XML Emulation
l XML data is represented in a tree structure which corresponds to the data in the XML file.
Each node of the XML can be expanded to see the nodes under it. See "XML Emulation"
on page70.
Metadata tab
The Metadata tab allows to load a Metadata file and make a selection from it.
The Sample metadata filename is the path to the Metadata file describing the current sample
data file. Buttons on the right can be used to load Metadata from a file or to save the current
Metadata to a file.
Tip
To get a sample of the Metadata file, debug your process and step through it until the option
Debug > View Metadata gets enabled. This happens when Metadata have been created by a task
in the process. Open the Metadata viewer and save the Metadata file to use it as a sample file. Click
the Open a meta data file button to open the sample in the Metadata selector.
PlanetPress Design documents (unlike Connect Designer templates) are built to contain
Metadata. PlanetPress Design users may therefore generate a Metadata file for their active
sample data file, using a PlanetPress Design document: click the Create meta data file button.
The Generated PressTalk Expression shows the expression to retrieve the currently selected
attribute or field. Metadata are retrieved with the GetMeta() function (see "Metadata selections"
