Design document, please see the relevant page in the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
Line printer emulation
Line printer emulation tells the process to treat the input data as data destined for a line printer.
In this emulation, a form feed signals the end of a data page. If no form feed occurs in the data
stream, the emulation adds lines to the data page buffer until the buffer is full.
Line printer emulation offers the best overall performance of all the emulations.
Note
Line printer emulation is only used when merging line printer data with a PlanetPress
Design document.
When choosing a line printer sample data file to be merged with a Connect template,
select Text emulation (see "Text-based emulation" on the next page).
Line printer emulation options
The line printer emulation does not have any options other than the general text-based
emulation options (see "Text-based emulation" on the next page).
PDF emulation
The PDF emulation allows you to capture data from fully composed documents in a PDF
format.
PDF emulation slightly differs from other emulations: with other emulations, data is read either
one line at a time or one character at a time, while PDF emulation processes the input data
from the PDF file in such a fashion that every PDF page becomes a full data page.
Note
Protected PDF and PDF of versions above 1.7 are not supported by PlanetPress
Workflow.
