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 page417
task was added with PlanetPress 7.4, adding the ability to quickly and directly convert a PGC
file to a blank PDF file containing the ink data as an EPS layer. This is useful when, for
example, data is received for a document that's already been closed.
l The "Input Error Bin" on page228 input task is triggered when the process sends data to
the error process.
l A "PGC to PDF Converter" on page417 task converts the PGC to a PDF
l Any existing output is used here, for example an email notification.

Basic Functional Capture Workflow
This workflow is the most basic and simple workflow that you can use with PlanetPress
Capture. In small implementations with only one simple document, this may be the only thing
required for a functional workflow since, even in this simple state, it can be enough to automate
the archive of your digital documents.
Generator Process
The workflow requires two separate processes that will be triggered at different times. The first
process, the generator process, produces printable output by merging a data file with a
Capture-Ready PlanetPress Design document. For each document page produced, an Anoto
Pattern is assigned to the document and locked, and a page is produced in the output.
Depending on the setup used, this may produce on or more print jobs or PDFs as an output.
