l Custom:Use the title in the input field as set by the user. The field is variable so the
title can be set on a per-document basis using data or metadata selections.
l Output Format group
l Continue process with optimized postscript(no metadata):The job file coming
out of the task will be a PostScript file that can be sent to any postscript printer or
saved locally.
l Continue process with PDF(with new metadata):The job file coming out of the
task will be a PDFwith accompanying metadata for that PDF(previous metadata is
lost).
l Override document pattern sequence:Check to override the pattern sequence as
entered in your PlanetPress Design document properties. Once checked, enter a new
pattern sequence in the Pattern Sequence box.
l Fail if document doesn't contain at least one capture field:If the static or dynamic
document that tries to pass through this task does not contain any capture fields, an error
will be generated.
l Simulate pattern area on final document:When retrieving the document from the
database with the Get Capture Document, each Capture Field is simulated using a grey
box. This box is not a pattern and cannot be used with the Anoto Digital Pen, however
this option can be used to keep the same overall design of your document.
Examples &Use Cases
This task is put into effect in the following use cases and example processes:
l Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l Capture Web Manager Workflow
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page777.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
