Preview a Capture-Ready document
PlanetPress Capture-Ready documents can be previewed using the regular Preview functions of PlanetPress Design. When
you preview and print a Capture-Ready document, it contains a special reserved pattern for this purpose.
When signing a Capture-Ready document and docking the pen, the PGCfile form the pen is placed in a special location in the
PlanetPress Design folder. To view the result of signing the document, simply use the Preview function again and the ink data
will be present on the preview.
Some important notes on previewing Capture-ready documents:
l Only one pattern is available and will be used. Even when printing multiple pages, the same pattern will be used on all
the pages.
l When doing the second preview with the pen docked, only the first page will contain ink. In a multi-page preview, if you
write on more than one page, all of the ink (of every page)will appear on the first page of the preview.
l Capture patterns have to be printed in full-quality at a minimum of 600DPI on a Laser printer. Ink savers, draft versions
and fast printing features may cause patterns not to print correctly and not to be visible by the Anoto Digital Pen.
l When printing, disable any scaling or resizing feature of your PDFsoftware.
l Because of the resolution change (96dpi on screen, 600dpi on the printer)and the way in which patterns are displayed,
it is expected to see a different in size between the field as displayed from a PDFon screen and the printed version on
paper. In order to test your design, make sure to actually print a preview to see the final result.
l Further considerations are present in the PlanetPress Workflow Tools User Guide.

Print a Document Preview
It is common to preview a document often during the creation process and it is strongly recommended you preview the final
document before you install it.
A hard copy preview prints the output the document yields when it executes on a printer. When you perform a hard copy pre-
view, PlanetPress converts the document, adds a trigger to the PostScript code, and sends the document to the printer along
with the contents of the sample data file. In a hard copy preview, you cannot preview PlanetPress Image or PlanetPress Fax
output. You can preview the document on any printer available on your local system. The printer you use for the preview and
the printer on which the document is destined to execute must both use the same, or a compatible, PPD file for the preview to
be reliable. In a hard copy preview, you can also save the output destined for the printer to a file instead of sending it to the
printer.
If you are previewing a document that uses dynamic images that reference external images, remember that to see the ref-
erenced images in the preview, those images must be accessible from the environment in which the preview executes. Thus
the PlanetPress Talk expression you entered in the Image box for each of the dynamic images that reference external images,
must resolve to the correct pathnames for the external images in the preview environment.
