PlanetPress Design displays the document in the Page area with data that has not had
any end of line character replacements, while the PostScript interpreter performs the pre-
view with data that has end of line character replacements. These PostScript interpreters
always run in binary mode.
The PlanetPress Suite Access Manager is available in both the PlanetPress and PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools applications
to facilitate the transfer of files among computer systems connected over a network. An exclusive service component called
PlanetPress Suite Messenger allows PlanetPress Suite components to work together across the network and identifies work-
stations on which PlanetPress Suite products are installed (note that PlanetPress Suite Messenger 6 only works with version 6
components). In this way, users can share image files, documents, and jobs.
Use the Access Manager to assign permission for other computers to access your workstation.
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 PGCfile 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 PDFsoftware.
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 PDFon 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.
For more information on PlanetPress Capture, see the following topics:
l "Capture Field Object" (page 166)
l PlanetPress Capture (PlanetPress Workflow User Guide)
