If you select host-based when you set up a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool process to execute a document, the document
can access both the local PlanetPress Design Suite virtual disk as well as any folder on the computer on which it executes. If it
completes execution on a printer, it can also access the hard disk of the printer.
Image Format
Images must be in a format the document can accept at runtime.
Dynamic images that are resident on a printer or on the local PlanetPress Design Suite virtual disk must be in PostScript for-
mat. The only way to make images available in these locations, in a format the document can accept, is to use the Image
Downloader to copy the images to those locations. The Image Downloader converts any images it copies to PostScript format.
Dynamic images that exist on a folder on the host must be in one or more of the supported image formats.
Summary of Execution Environments
The following summarizes the different execution environments, and where the external images must reside in each case.
Recall that external images on either a printer or the local PlanetPress Design Suite virtual disk must be in the PostScript for-
mat generated by the Image Downloader. External images in a folder must be in one or more of the supported formats.
