For more information about Metadata see: "Metadata" on page67.
This task is put into effect in the following example processes.
l
"Example: Daily sales report from PDF files" on page228
l
Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l
Capture Web Manager Workflow
Note that Capture can only be used with PlanetPress Suite.
Input
A data file in any supported emulation (see "About data emulation" on page54).
Processing
If the Do not use a document (passthrough) option is used, the Metadata will contain a single Job,
Group and Document level, as many data page levels as there are data pages (pages in a PDF, levels
in XML, rows in a CSV, etc) in the file, and one page level per data page.
Note: In PlanetPress Design, this step is equivalent to a &metamode variable value of 1.
If a data file and PlanetPress Design document are selected, the Metadata is generated by merging the
data file and document and retrieving only the Metadata generated by this merge. The Metadata levels
will reflect those defined in the document, including separation for Group and Document, Metadata
fields, etc. Note that:
l
In PDF emulation, the size and orientation attributes for each page are set in the Metadata. In all
other emulations, those attributes remain blank.
l
In XML emulation, the Metadata file is always created as if the user had specified the "Second
Level" parameter in PlanetPress Design.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the newly generated Metadata file. Job Info variables are not
changed.

based on the data file alone.
Alternatively, as a PlanetPress Suite user you can select a specific PlanetPress Design doc-
ument to be merged with the data file. Only the Metadata generated by this merge will be
