with PlanetPress Suite. The Metadata Tools are used extensively in the given example, which
is a weekly sales report sent to all the sales associates of a particular company branch. See the
"PDF Workflow" on page179 for more details.
PlanetPress Capture workflow
A Capture workflow is divided in two steps: creating an output of documents containing the
PlanetPress Capture Fields, and retrieving the information from the Anoto Digital Pen to merge
it with the original documents. See "PlanetPress Capture Workflow" on the facing page for
more details.
HTTPServer workflow
An HTTPworkflow receives requests from a client via a GETor POSTrequest, sometimes only
with information, sometimes with attached files. An HTTPworkflow is basically an
XMLworkflow since that is the type of file created by the HTTPServer Input action task. See
the "HTTP Server Workflow" on page172 page for more details.
OL Connect Send workflow
Connect Send allows for PostScript files to be received over the internet from any Windows
Desktop application. It is in fact an application with two components. The first is a Windows
printer driver while the other is a group of Workflow plugins (Job Processor, Get Job Data and
Get Data). These two components work together indiscriminately, each needing the other to
function.
See "OL Connect Send" on page542 for more information about this solution and its license
modes.
See Workflow processes in a Connect Send solution for information about setting up the
necessary OL Connect Send Workflow processes.
SOAPWorkflow
As SOAPcan be either a client or a server, two workflows will be presented. The SOAPClient
workflow presents PlanetPress Workflow as the client and will explore how to retrieve
WSDLinformation and how to make a SOAPrequest as a client. The SOAPServer workflow
will show how to create a process that responds to SOAPrequests, and where our own
WSDLis located.
