Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some
examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not
having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
PGC to PDF Converter
The PGC to PDF Converter tasks extracts the digital ink located in a PGC file and adds it to a
blank PDF, creating one page per document in the PGC. It's main use is to process PGCs that
generated errors when processing them, as part of an Error Handling process.
Note
When adding this task to your process, you will be asked if you want to add the task as an
Action or a Condition. This task should only be used as an Action. If used as a condition,
it will always return False.
Input
A PGCfile received from an Anoto digital pen.
Processing
The ink contained in the PGCfile is converted into an EPSlayer, which is then applied on an
blank, empty PDFfile of the size specified in the task's properties. If more than one Pattern IDis
found in the PGCfile, each separate Pattern IDwill generate a new page on which its ink is
applied.
