Capture-Fields processor
Note: This plug-in has been moved to the Legacy group.
The Capture-Fields processor action task is used to update the Capture database using information
received from an incoming PGC file, which generally originates from a communication by the Anoto
penDirector.
This task is put into effect in the following use cases and example processes:
l
Basic Functional Capture Workflow
l
Capture Web Manager Workflow
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 doc-
uments 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
