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 Cap-
ture 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 Cap-
ture 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 sec-
tion of a PlanetPress Design document's properties.
l
Custom: Use the title in the input field as set by the user. The field is variable so the title
can be set on a per-document basis using data or metadata selections.
l
Output Format group
l
Continue process with optimized postscript (no metadata): The job file coming out of
the task will be a PostScript file that can be sent to any postscript printer or saved locally.
l
Continue process with PDF (with new metadata): The job file coming out of the task will
be a PDF with accompanying metadata for that PDF (previous metadata is lost).
l
Override document pattern sequence: Check to override the pattern sequence as entered in
your PlanetPress Design document properties. Once checked, enter a new pattern sequence in
the Pattern Sequence box.
l
Fail if document doesn't contain at least one capture field: If the static or dynamic document
that tries to pass through this task does not contain any capture fields, an error will be generated.
l
Simulate pattern area on final document: When retrieving the document from the database
with the Get Capture Document, each Capture Field is simulated using a grey box. This box is not
a pattern and cannot be used with the Anoto Digital Pen, however this option can be used to keep
the same overall design of your document.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Pro-
cess area.
