tab, to set it to stop the branch if any errors occur. This is to ensure that if such an error occurs most of
your document sequences will get generated and you will not have to start the job over from the begin-
ning.
Processing
The Capture Fields Generator action task uses an existing PlanetPress Design document containing
Capture fields and assigns a unique Capture pattern to each printed page. The task then locks each pat-
tern that it used so it cannot be reassigned to any other document.
The whole job is then converted into a PDF file which is stored, without the patterns, in the Capture
Database. This PDF file is later used by the "Capture-Fields processor" on the facing page to be
merged with ink from the pen. At the same time the output is generated, either as a PDF (including the
patterns) or an Optimized PostScript Stream file. This means that regardless of the output, a PDF is
always generated in the database.
Note: If any error occurs during processing, such as running out of patterns while generating the
job, every action made by this task will be rolled back as if they hadn't happened.
Output
The Capture fields Generator action task will output either a PDF and Metadata, or an Optimized
PostScript Stream file without Metadata.
Task properties
Pattern Generator action task properties are as follows:
l
Capture Document: Choose the PlanetPress Design capture ready document that will be used
to generate the output including the capture fields.
l
Document Title: Enter a name for the document that will be saved inside the PlanetPress Cap-
ture Database. This name should be unique and recognizable and will be used later to retrieve
the document form using the Get Capture Document action task.
l
Document Title group: Determines a Title for the document. This title is accessible in the Cap-
ture Database and can be used to search for a document or retrieve a list of document using
other tasks.
l
From metadata: Use the Document Title property as set in the PlanetPress Capture sec-
tion of a PlanetPress Design document's properties.
l
Custom: Use the title in the input field as set by the user. The field is variable so the title
can be set on a per-document basis using data or metadata selections.
