About PlanetPress Image

PlanetPress Image is a multi-threaded service that can generate image files in PDF, JPEG and TIFF format. As PlanetPress Workflow and PlanetPress Image are compliant with AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture, these formats can also be used.

The generated files can be archived and, depending on whether you use a PlanetPress Image Output task or a Digital Action task, sent via email. Note that you can use PlanetPress Search, another program included in PlanetPress Workflow, to search through archived PDF files.

PlanetPress Image can be installed on any computer on your network and can process requests coming from tasks performed by PlanetPress Workflow on other workstations. You may choose to run it on every computer where PlanetPress Workflow is running, but you may also choose to run it on computers more or less dedicated to PlanetPress Image. Note that in the case of Digital Action tasks, PlanetPress Workflow and the PlanetPress Image service must be running on the same computer.

Preferences

In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Image properties that you configure in the task’s Properties dialog box, there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Image Outputs processed by a given computer; see PlanetPress Image preferences. Note that those options are specific to each PlanetPress Image installation and that they are immediately applied.
