Workflow

Process print streams from any Windows application
Capture files sent from standard Windows applications such as Great Plains and Crystal Report, convert their contents to plain text and use the resulting data file as input for PlanetPress Design documents. Easily repurpose and stabilize data to create business reports that meet the needs of your organization and automate their distribution to the appropriate channels.

Communicate with external, e-commerce or web applications

HTTP Server
Natively process the contents of online forms and use them for real-time fulfillment of requests.

HTTP Client
Actively communicate with a third party Web Server and launch a process using the response from that Web Server to automate the monitoring of any web server and for real-time repurposing of online data.

SOAP
Interact directly with SOAP applications such as the ones used for secure data transfers over the Internet (HTTPS) and for interconnectivity with standard business applications such as CRMs and ERPs.

Email, fax, archive, locate and retrieve information
Generate PDF, TIFF and JPG images of your documents to automatically archive, email and/or fax them. An index file is also generated for location and retrieval of specific pages of the print run via an integrated search engine or using a third party electronic document management (EDM) system.

Optimal performance printing on PostScript printers
For repetitive print runs, high volume printing cycles of purely transactional or transpromo documents, use native PostScript on licensed printers. Storing the form on the printer and only sending the data when printing will limit the strain on your bandwidth and you will benefit from engine speed printing.

Convenience printing on any printer
In addition to native PostScript, you can also benefit from unlimited printing to any printer (using Optimized PostScript or Windows printing), including thermal, inkjet and laser technologies. Make the most of specific finishing options offered by all printers; perfect for your ad-hoc and day-to-day printing needs!

Automated document output and distribution management
Automate your processes to greatly improve your workflow and easily perform clustering and distributed printing, locally or remotely. You can also adapt the management of workflows and the distribution of your documents to suit your business processes. Deliver documents to answer the needs of your customers using their preferred delivery method (mail, email, fax). All, with no human intervention!
