The emulation that is used in your process can change during the process, and can be different
than the one used in any PlanetPress Design document used in your process. PlanetPress
Design documents use their own emulations, as defined in the document itself from
PlanetPress Design.
Emulations in PReS Workflow:
l Line Printer
l ASCII
l CSV
l Channel Skip
l Database
l XML
l PDF
Warning
PDFEmulation, also called Document Input, is only available in PReS Workflow.
For more information about each emulation and how to use them, please refer to PlanetPress
Design User Guide.
Using the File Viewer
The File Viewer is like a Data Selector without any data related options, such as emulation
settings. It is displayed when doing a data selection from the Generic Splitter task (see
"Generic Splitter" on page333) with the Use Emulation option unchecked. The only data
formatting codes to which the File Viewer responds are line breaks.
For more information on the selecting data, see "The Data Selector" on page24.
Sample Data
PReS Workflow is a versatile tool that can capture various types of data files and dispatch this
data to various PlanetPress Design documents. To fully understand PReS Workflow and how it
treats data, you must understand how it is integrated into PlanetPress Design.
