PlanetPress Workflow can capture the incoming stream and convert it internally into a PDF file
along with its metadata. By default, capturing a document input using a PlanetPress Printer will
generate a PDF along with its metadata.
Metadata Generation and Refresh without using PlanetPressPrinter
It is possible to generate or refresh metadata for any given sample datafile by using the Refresh
Metadata option available when right-clicking on the Metadata Fields folder found in the
Document Structure Window. For example, metadata can be generated this way for a Line
Printer sample datafile captured using an LPD Queue Input.
Metadata Selector
PlanetPress Workflow's Data Selector window is accessible by double clicking inside the
Sample Data window or by clicking on the Open Active Data button available in the ribbon. The
Data Selector is equipped with a new tab labeled Metadata.
Firstly, two buttons at the top right corner of this tab allows to load or save a metadata file
generated for the current sample datafile.
Secondly, the metadata tab graphically displays all elements (i.e. attributes and fields)
available at the current level (i.e. Page, Datapage, Document, etc.). More importantly, these
elements are graphically selectable, like any other part of the sample datafile when using the
'Select Data' option inside a Text object, for example.
