PlanetPress Capture Workflow
PlanetPress Capture, introduced in PlanetPress 7.2 and enhanced ever since, is a set of tools that is
used to simplify digital archiving processes by capturing information from a special pen which records
everything it writes on paper, as long as this paper contains special Anoto Patterns.
Caution: There are important considerations to keep in mind when dealing with PlanetPress Cap-
ture. Please review them in "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page260.
In order to properly build a PlanetPress Capture workflow, it is very important to understand the ter-
minology, implications and limitations of the technology. This is the first part of this section:

There are also 2 external tools that are used to communicate the pen's data to PlanetPress Workflow:

Creating a Capture-Ready document
This is done when creating your PlanetPress Design document. Adding one or more PlanetPress Cap-
ture 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469).
l
Separating each individual document in the metadata (this can be done in your Design document
or through the "Metadata Level Creation" on page476 action task).
l
Using the "Capture-Fields generator" on page623 action task to generate the capture patterns
l
Printing your documents.
