PlanetPress Capture Workflow
PlanetPress Capture, introduced in PlanetPress 7.2 and enhanced ever since, is a set of tools
that is used to simplify digital archiving processes by capturing information from a special pen
which records everything it writes on paper, as long as this paper contains special Anoto
Patterns.
Warning
There are important considerations to keep in mind when dealing with PlanetPress
Capture. Please review them in "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on
page154.
In order to properly build a PlanetPress Capture workflow, it is very important to understand the
terminology, implications and limitations of the technology. This is the first part of this section:
l "Capture Information" on page139
l "Database Considerations (ODBC)" on page143
l "Security Considerations" on page145
l "20,000 Patterns" on page146
l "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page154
There are also 2 external tools that are used to communicate the pen's data to PlanetPress
Workflow:
l "Anoto penDirector" on page152
l "PlanetPress Mobile Application" on page154
Creating a Capture-Ready document
This is done when creating your PlanetPress Design document. Adding one or more
PlanetPress Capture fields to a PlanetPress Design document creates a capture-ready
document, which can be used in the workflow. For more information, see the PlanetPress
Design User Guide.
