Tip
Instead of creating a web page from scratch, you could create a web page from a
Connect Web template; use the "Create Web Content" on page615 task.
l If, however, the file is found, then it is loaded with the "Load External File" on page421
task, and then deleted (for the same reasons).
HTTP brochure request
This workflow builds on the knowledge acquired in "HTTP PDF Invoice Request" on page284
and uses a single process, but in this case it also uses a PlanetPress Design document (see
"PlanetPress Design documents" on page43) which merges the data received from a browser
form with the document to generate a PDF brochure, which is sent via email.
Resources
l
HTTPBrochureRequest.zip (PReS Workflow Configuration)
l InformationBrochure.zip (PlanetPress Design Document)
Installation
l Download both files and unzip them.
l
Open InformationBrochure.pp7 and send it to PReS Workflow.
l
Open HTTPBrochureRequest.pw7 and send the configuration to your local PReS
Workflow service.
l Open your browser to http://localhost:8080/generatebrochure
Task breakdown
l
The HTTP Server Input receives the initial request from the browser.
l Because this is a demonstration, a backup is made of the XML request. It's not suggested
to do this every time, especially on servers receiving a large number of requests, as these
files do take some amount of space for each request.
