Generating the Capture Patterns
Once your document is created, the Capture Fields Generator action task is used to apply the
capture patterns to each of your documents and send them to the printer. This printing process
will consist of:
l Retrieving your data file.
l Creating metadata (See "Create Metadata" on page475).
l Separating each individual document in the metadata (this can be done in your Design
document or through the "Metadata Level Creation" on page490 action task).
l Using the "Capture Fields Generator" on page448 action task to generate the capture
patterns
l Printing your documents.
Capturing and Archiving
After the printed documents have been inked with the Anoto Digital Pen, the PGCfiles from the
pen must be processed and merged with the appropriate documents in the PlanetPress
Capture Database. Aworkflow process that receives PGCfiles and reads them in turn consists
of the following actions:
l An "HTTP Server Input" on page214 task or "Folder Capture" on page199 task that
receives the PGC.
l The "Capture Fields Processor" on page452, which converts each PGCin an EPSlayer,
adds this layer to the PDFin the database, releases patterns and closes documents.
l Optionally, a "Capture Condition" on page442 task to do post-processing using the
Capture Fields data.
l A"Get Capture Document" on page468 action task to retrieve each document in the
database and output a PDFfile
l Any existing output such as Output to Folder, email, ftp, etc.
Technical
Because of timeout limitations, it is generally a good idea to use the Send immediate
response to clientoption of the HTTPServer Input task, especially when processing a
large amount of documents from the pen. Additionally, HTTPServer Processes should
