Processing
The Capture Fields Generator action task uses an existing PlanetPress Design document
containing Capture fields and assigns a unique Capture pattern to each printed page. The task
then locks each pattern that it used so it cannot be reassigned to any other document.
The whole job is then converted into a PDF file which is stored, without the patterns, in the
Capture Database. This PDF file is later used by the "Capture Fields Processor" on page529
to be merged with ink from the pen. At the same time the output is generated, either as a PDF
(including the patterns) or an Optimized PostScript Stream file. This means that regardless of
the output, a PDF is always generated in the database.
Note
If any error occurs during processing, such as running out of patterns while generating the
job, every action made by this task will be rolled back as if they hadn't happened.
Output
The Capture fields Generator action task will output either a PDF and Metadata, or an
Optimized PostScript Stream file without Metadata.
Task properties
Pattern Generator action task properties are as follows:
l
Capture Document: Choose the PlanetPress Design capture ready document that will
be used to generate the output including the capture fields.
l
Document Title: Enter a name for the document that will be saved inside the PlanetPress
Capture Database. This name should be unique and recognizable and will be used later
to retrieve the document form using the Get Capture Document action task.
l
Document Title group: Determines a Title for the document. This title is accessible in the
Capture Database and can be used to search for a document or retrieve a list of
document using other tasks.
l
From metadata: Use the Document Title property as set in the PlanetPress
Capture section of a PlanetPress Design document's properties.
