Connect documents use their own emulations, as defined in the document itself from
PlanetPress Connect.
Emulations in PlanetPress Workflow:
l Line Printer
l ASCII
l CSV
l Channel Skip
l Database
l XML
l PDF
Warning
PDFEmulation, also called Document Input, is only available in PlanetPress Workflow.
For more information about each emulation and how to use them, please refer to PlanetPress
Connect User Guide.
Using the File Viewer
The File Viewer is like a Data Selector without any data related options, such as emulation
settings. It is displayed when doing a data selection from the Generic Splitter task (see
"Generic Splitter" on page 286) with the Use Emulation option unchecked. The only data
formatting codes to which the File Viewer responds are line breaks.
For more information on the selecting data, see "The Data Selector" on page 22.
Sample Data
PlanetPress Workflow is a versatile tool that can capture various types of data files and
dispatch this data to various PlanetPress Connect documents. To fully understand PlanetPress
Workflow and how it treats data, you must understand how it is integrated into PlanetPress
Connect.
This section covers issues relating to the sample data used to create your PlanetPress
Workflow configuration and to the actual data that PlanetPress Workflow will send to
