Description

Assign Profiles to Document

  • Set Failover Profile - Specifies what should happen to documents when they are sent to inaccessible destinations (they are not able to receive documents).

  • Set Filter Profile - Associates a filter profile with a document. This filter will be used for document viewing and reprinting.

  • Set Library Filing Profile - Sends documents to the document library. Specifies the library folder where documents will be sent, the file store, any notifications, and how long to keep documents before deleting.

  • Set Notification Profile - Sends notifications when specific events occur in the document life cycle.

  • Set Output Process - Performs processing such as search and replace, setting finishing options, editing PJL commands, inserting overlays, and so on.

Burst

  • Line Mode - Bursts line data documents based on: data contained in the document, desired output size and size of original document, and number of output documents desired.

Extract Text

  • Line Mode - Extracts text from line data documents using rows and columns.

  • Page Mode - Extracts text from printer ready documents using regions (rectangles).

Modify Document Contents
