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 pattern
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 page426 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.
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 Capture
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 Capture
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 section of
a PlanetPress Design document's properties.
