PlanetPress Image
PlanetPress Image output tasks are used to make request to PlanetPress Image, which creates image files
which it then archives or emails. Since this task is an output, it is not possible to immediately act on the
generated image before continuing. When necessary to immediately retrieve the generated file, "Digital
Action" on page 234 should be used instead.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Image properties you configure in the task’s Properties dialog
box, there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Image outputs processed by a given
computer (see "PlanetPress Image User Options" on page 575). Note that those options are specific to each
PlanetPress Image installation and that they are immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PlanetPress Image output tasks. For information on those
properties shared by various types of tasks, such as Other and On error properties, refer to Configurations,
Processes and Tasks.
Technical
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for Outlook to be
opened while PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out automatically. To correct
this, make sure to logon to Windows on the PlanetPress Workflow server using the same login that
PlanetPress Workflow is using, and open Outlook before starting the PlanetPress Workflow services.
You could also use a startup process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
Any data file with a valid Emulation, or an Optimized PostScript Stream file (.ps)generated by PlanetPress
Workflow itself.
