PlanetPress Design documents
A PlanetPress Design document is a file created with the Design module of PlanetPress Suite.
Design documents are used to produce an output, merged with data (i.e. the job file). They contain
static data such as logos, addresses and graphic formatting, as well as placeholders for data. Docu-
ments may also contain conditions and programming logic.
For more information about PlanetPress Design documents, please see the PlanetPress Design User
Guide.
Generating output with PlanetPress Design documents
PlanetPress Design documents are typically selected in certain Output tasks designed to merge data
with a Design document, but they can also appear in other tasks that produce formatted data such as
the Digital Action task and the Add Document task.
If a task lets you select a PlanetPress Design document to be used with the task, the selection list will
appear on one or more of the tabs in the Task Properties dialog that appears when you add the task to
a process (see "Adding tasks" on page287).
For information about the options in the selection list, see "Selecting a resource file in task properties"
on page292.
Printer-centric printing
PlanetPress Design lets you send documents to printers as well as to PlanetPress Workflow servers.

If you send a document to printers only and not to any PlanetPress Workflow server, you will not
be able to see this document in the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program. To let Plan-
etPress Workflow know that the document is available, you will have to add a printer resident doc-
ument to your PlanetPress Workflow configuration (see "Adding printer resident documents to
the Configuration Components Pane" on the facing page).

If you send a document to PlanetPress Workflow servers only and not to any printer, you will be
able to see this document in the Configuration Components Pane of the PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program, but it will not be directly available on any printer.
