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223 task or "Folder Capture" on page213 task that
receives the PGC.
l The "Capture Fields Processor" on page403, 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395 task to do post-processing using the
Capture Fields data.
l A "Get Capture Document" on page414 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
always be self-replicating and have a short polling interval set in their properties.
Managing and Post-Processing
There are a couple of things that can be done even after documents have been inked. As long
as a document remains open, it is still present in the Capture database and be used in a
process:
l The "Find Capture Documents" on page410 input task is used to retrieve a list of
documents under specific criteria.
l
The Capture Condition and Get Capture Document tasks are used to effect post-
processing and retrieve document from the Capture database.
