This migration benefits existing users in many ways and has limited impact on their current
processes and how they use PlanetPress Suite version 7 and 6.
This document provides information on the migration process and the requirements and
considerations for existing PlanetPress Suite users to upgrade to the latest generation of our
products.
Note
PlanetPress Connect Print-Only is available for existing users of PlanetPress version 7 or 6 with a
valid OL Care agreement. If you are using a previous version or are not covered by OL Care,
please contact your reseller or your Objectif Lune Account Manager for more information.
What does PlanetPress Connect contain?
PlanetPress Connect is comprised of the following modules:
l PlanetPress Workflow 8. This is the natural evolution of PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7
(Watch, Office or Production).PlanetPress Workflow 8 is very similar to the PlanetPress
Suite Workflow 7 version but contains some new features and has the ability to run
PlanetPress Connect jobs, as well as PlanetPress Suite, PrintShop Mail Suite and PReS
Classic documents.
o
Imaging for PlanetPress Connect is available as an option. It contains:
l PlanetPress Fax
l PlanetPress Image
l PlanetPress Search
o
PlanetPress Capture is still supported in PlanetPress Workflow 8 but only with
documents created with the PlanetPress Suite Design 7.
l PlanetPress Connect Designer. This is the design tool based on completely new
technology. It is not backwards compatible and therefore cannot open PlanetPress Suite
Design 7 documents. If you want to continue editing those documents you can keep doing
so in PlanetPress Suite Design 7.
l PlanetPress Connect Server. This is the core of the Connect technology. This new
module automates the merging of data with your new templates and generates the output.
It is required for PlanetPress Workflow 8 to handle templates created with the
PlanetPress Connect Designer. It can be installed on the same or a different machine as
PlanetPress Workflow 8.
