Input
This task requires a PGC file that has been obtained from an Anoto Digital Pen that was used
to write on documents generated from the same PReS Workflow installation.
Processing
The PlanetPress Capture Fields Processor action task receives and processes the
information sent by the Anoto digital pen and updates all the documents in the PlanetPress
Capture Database using the information from the pen. Any ink in the pen is added as an EPS
(image) layer on the PDF inside the Capture Database. If a specific document needs to be
closed to release its pattern, this task does so.
During processing, ink is always applied to the document first and then the logic is applied for
releasing patterns. This means that even if a document is closed by a field set as Final that was
checked first, ink present in other fields will still be applied to the document.
From version 7.5 and onwards, ICR is done on the ink, if the "Perform ICR Recognition" option
is checked.
Error handling
If the Capture Fields Processor generates a critical error during the processing of any document
in the PGC file, all of its actions will be reverted. If your PGC file contains multiple documents,
even those documents that were processed before will revert. It is strongly suggested to backup
your PGC file before using this task and to create an error handling process to capture these
errors.
Logical errors do not cause this task to exit. For example, if a List Item Capture Field is set to
only accept a single option but contains ink in more than one option, or if a Capture Field that
does not accept re-writing receives more ink, the task will still complete. The inks that are
relevant to logical errors are still added to the PDF document, but they are added on a separate
"error" layer.
