Error Handling
Whenever an error occurs during the Capture Field Processor phase, it is of course important to
be able to handles these errors. For this purpose, the "PGC to PDF Converter" on page506
task was added with PlanetPress 7.4, adding the ability to quickly and directly convert a
PGCfile to a blank PDFfile containing the ink data as an EPSlayer. This is useful when, for
example, data is received for a document that's already been closed.
l The "Input Error Bin" on page233 input task is triggered when the process sends data to
the error process.
l A"PGC to PDF Converter" on page506 task converts the PGCto a PDF
l Any existing output is used here, for example an email notification.
