Warning
There are important considerations to keep in mind when dealing with PlanetPress Capture. Please
review them in "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page 122.
In order to properly build a PlanetPress Capture workflow, it is very important to understand the terminology,
implications and limitations of the technology. This is the first part of this section:
l "Capture Information" on page 109
l "General Considerations" on page 112
l "Security Considerations" on page 114
l "20,000 Patterns" on page 115
l "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page 122
There are also 2 external tools that are used to communicate the pen's data to PlanetPress Workflow:
l "Anoto penDirector" on page 120
l "PlanetPress Mobile Application" on page 122
Creating a Capture-Ready document
This is done when creating your PlanetPress Connect document. Adding one or more PlanetPress Capture
fields to a PlanetPress Connect document creates a capture-ready document, which can be used in the
workflow. For more information, see the PlanetPress Connect 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 389).
l Separating each individual document in the metadata (this can be done in your Design document or
through the "Metadata Level Creation" on page 401 action task).
l Using the "Capture Fields Generator" on page 365 action task to generate the capture patterns
l Printing your documents.
