In order to properly build a PlanetPress Capture workflow, it is very important to understand the terminology,
implications and limitations of the technology. This is the first part of this section:
l "Capture Information" on page 107
l "General Considerations" on page 110
l "Security Considerations" on page 112
l "20,000 Patterns" on page 113
l "PlanetPress Capture Implementation Restrictions" on page 120
There are also 2 external tools that are used to communicate the pen's data to PReS Workflow:
l "Anoto penDirector" on page 118
l "PlanetPress Mobile Application" on page 120
Creating a Capture-Ready document
This is done when creating your PReS Connect document. Adding one or more PlanetPress Capture fields
to a PReS Connect document creates a capture-ready document, which can be used in the workflow. For
more information, see the PReS Connect User Guide.
Generating the Capture Patterns
Once your document is created, the Capture Fields Generator action task is used to apply the capture
patterns to each of your documents and send them to the printer. This printing process will consist of:
l Retrieving your data file.
l Creating metadata (See "Create Metadata" on page 386).
l Separating each individual document in the metadata (this can be done in your Design document or
through the "Metadata Level Creation" on page 398 action task).
l Using the "Capture Fields Generator" on page 362 action task to generate the capture patterns
l Printing your documents.
Capturing and Archiving
After the printed documents have been inked with the Anoto Digital Pen, the PGCfiles from the pen must be
processed and merged with the appropriate documents in the PlanetPress Capture Database. Aworkflow
