PlanetPress Search is a plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® or Adobe® Reader® that you can use to search the PDF
archives you create in PlanetPress Image. You define the search indices for a document when you create it in
PlanetPress Design.
PlanetPress Office
In addition to all of the options and functions available in PlanetPress Watch, PlanetPress Office also offers:
• Capturing inputs from any host systems
• Document Input: using PDF documents as data files.
• Windows Input: capturing print job sent from any Windows application.
• Output on any number of non-PostScript devices and all licensed PostScript devices.
PlanetPress Production
PlanetPress Production is the fully functional workflow tool, offering, in addition to all of the options and
functions
available in both PlanetPress Watch and Office, the following extra features:
• Output on any number of PostScript or non-PostScript devices, whether licensed or not. Obviously,
printing on a PostScript device in printer centric mode will require said device to have a valid and active
license.
PlanetPress Watch
PlanetPress Watch opens the door to more complex document processing, distribution, and archiving
possibilities. In PlanetPress Watch, you create tasks that control your document management workflow.
You create a set of different tasks that make up processes that carry out various actions, such as receive
data, analyze it and the send it to the appropriate printer. The flexibility of PlanetPress Watch, in concert
with the capabilities provided by PlanetPress Image, PlanetPress Search, and PlanetPress Fax, also
provides a means for more fully automating and increasing the efficiency of workflows.
In PlanetPress Watch you can:
• Run jobs immediately or schedule jobs to run automatically.
• Produce multiple output streams for jobs. For example, you might set up a single PlanetPress Watch
process to print a copy of an invoice to send to a customer, fax a shipping confirmation to the customer,
email a Portable Document Format (PDF) copy of the invoice to accounting, and archive a PDF copy.
PlanetPress Fax and PlanetPress Image provide the faxing and PDF capabilities, respectively.
• Split a large print job over several printers, including printers in different geographical locations.
• Use variable content documents that dynamically pull information from an Open Database Connectivity
compliant database.
• Write scripts to dynamically process the variable data for a document.
• Query printers on their current state, and take an action based on the response. For example, if a query
determines the toner is low in a printer, the action might be to send an email to the technician
responsible for maintaining that printer.
PlanetPress Fax
PlanetPress Fax adds fax capabilities to PlanetPress Watch/Server. This means one of the output streams for
your document may be a fax output.
