C.2.2 Pre-Installation Tasks and Considerations

Complete the following checklist before continuing:

• Specify a user and password to use to check all scanned documents in to Oracle WebCenter Content Server, taking into account the following scenarios:

  • User has maximum access.

    If scanned documents will be checked in to all areas of Content Server, then ensure that the user is a system administrator with Admin rights to all security groups.

  • User has minimal access.

    If scanned documents will be checked in to a limited area of Content Server, then ensure that the user has Write access to the necessary security groups.

  • User must adjust Author content information field.

    If you want the person performing the scan to adjust the Author content information field to reflect the author of the document, then ensure that the user has Admin access to the necessary security groups.

• Record the user name and password. You will enter these names during the new installation procedure. For more information, see Section C.2.3.1.

• Identify the server host name (or IP address) of the Content Server instance. The server name can be found on the Configuration Information page of the Content Server instance. You will enter this name during the new installation procedure. For more information, see Section C.2.3.2.

• If you are installing Kofax Capture Export Connector for use with a proxied instance of Content Server, identify the relative web root from the Configuration Information page of the proxied instance.

C.3 Using Kofax Capture Export Connector - Oracle WebCenter Content

This section covers the following topics about using Kofax Capture with Kofax Capture Export Connector - Oracle WebCenter Content:

• Section C.3.1, "Working with Kofax Capture Batch Classes"

• Section C.3.2, "Customizing the Release Script"

• Section C.3.3, "Mapping Kofax Index Fields to CHECKIN Parameters"

• Section C.3.4, "Verifying Kofax Capture Installation"

C.3.1 Working with Kofax Capture Batch Classes

After you have completed the installation and configuration tasks, your Kofax Capture workstation has two published batch classes: ScannedDocsOracleWebCenter and ScannedDocsOracleWebCenterParam.

Both batch classes are set up to support the standard required Content Server check-in parameters. In addition, the batch class ScansOracleWebCenterParam illustrates how a batch class can be configured for optional Content Server parameters, such as Release Date, Expiration Date, and so forth.

Like all Kofax Capture batch classes, these Content Server batch classes are constructed using field types, index fields, form types, and document classes, which are described in the following sections.

Note:

For more information about batch classes, view the Kofax Capture online help.

This section covers the following topics:

• Section C.3.1.1, "Folders"

• Section C.3.1.2, "Field Types"

• Section C.3.1.3, "Setting Up Field Types"

• Section C.3.1.4, "Document Classes"

• Section C.3.1.5, "Setting Up Document Class Index Fields"

• Section C.3.1.6, "Mapped Index Fields"

• Section C.3.1.7, "Form Types"

C.3.1.1 Folders

Folder classes define the properties of folders for a batch class. Batches are a collection of pages, documents, and folders that are organized into a hierarchy that you define. As with other elements of a batch class, you can create, edit, and delete folder classes.

In addition to organizing your documents within Kofax Capture, the real advantage to using folders comes after the documents have been released from Kofax Capture. If you ensure that the folder hierarchy in Kofax Capture matches (as closely as possible) the hierarchy used by your document management software, you can more easily import those documents into your third-party software.

Folders are created and filled with documents as the documents are processed through the Kofax Capture workflow. You can create folders manually (with batch editing), or you can allow them to be created automatically in accordance with rules you define. Likewise, you can place documents into folders manually or automatically.

Pages can be added to documents, and documents can be added to folders. Folders can be added to other folders (nesting) up to 32,000 levels. However, loose pages cannot be added to a folder (although you may have loose pages at the root level of your batch, they must be placed into a document before they are added to a folder).

C.3.1.2 Field Types

Installing and configuring the Kofax Capture release script sets up specific Kofax Capture field types. These field types are in turn used to define index fields in the sample document classes: ScannedDocsOracleWebCenter and ScannedDocsOracleWebCenterParam. When defining new index fields, you may use these field types, or create additional field types as needed. For more information, see Section C.3.1.3.

C.3.1.3 Setting Up Field Types

To set up field types:

1. From Kofax Capture, open the Administration dialog, then select the Field Type tree view tab.

2. Right-click anywhere within the tab and select New Field Type.

3. In the Create Field Type dialog, enter values in the fields provided.

   • In the General tab, Name and Data type are required; Description and Dictionary are optional. For Data type, Kofax Capture supports 11 ODBC-compliant types.

   • In the Values tab, you have the option of entering known values for the field type and specifying settings for Force match and Case sensitive.

4. Click Save when complete.

Note:

For more information about field types, view the Kofax Capture online help.

C.3.1.4 Document Classes

Installing and configuring the Kofax Capture release script as described in Section C.2.3 and Section C.2.4 sets up the following sample Kofax Capture document classes:

• ScansOracleWebCenter

• ScansOracleWebCenterParam

Each document class that is used with Kofax Capture includes the following:

• Index fields

• Attributes for the index fields

• At least one form type

Note:

index fields that are defined for a document class are mapped to Content Server check-in parameters. For more information, see Section C.3.3.

C.3.1.5 Setting Up Document Class Index Fields

To set up document class index fields:

1. From Kofax Capture, open the Administration dialog, then select the Document tree view tab.

2. Right-click a document class and select Properties. The Document Class Properties dialog opens. For examples of the dialogs for ScannedDocs and ScannedDocsParam, see Section C.3.1.6.1 and Section C.3.1.6.2.

3. Click New and enter the following information:

   • Name: A descriptive name.

   • Field Type: Select the appropriate field type from the drop-down list.

   • Default: If desired, enter a default value to populate the index field.

     Tech Tip: If the corresponding Content Server metadata field is required, entering a default value is recommended. Check-in will fail if a required metadata field does not contain a value.

   • Required: Select True if the field must contain a value during validation.

     Tech Tip: If the corresponding Content Server metadata field is required, set this field to True.

   • Verify: Set to False.

   • Hidden: Set to False.

   • Sticky: Set to False.

   • Total: Set to False.

4. When you are done adding the index field, click Apply to continue or OK to exit.

C.3.1.6 Mapped Index Fields

This section covers the following topics:

• Section C.3.1.6.1, "ScannedDocs"

• Section C.3.1.6.2, "ScannedDocsParam"

C.3.1.6.1 ScannedDocs

This document class includes "core" index fields that are mapped to Content Server standard required CHECKIN parameters.

Figure C-1 Mapped Index Fields for ScannedDocs Document Class

C.3.1.6.2 ScannedDocsParam

This document class includes core index fields that are mapped to Content Server standard required check-in parameters, plus additional example index fields that could be mapped to Content Server optional check-in parameters using the CHECKIN Parameters Editor (see Section C.3.2.17).

Figure C-2 Mapped Index Fields for ScannedDocsParam Document Class

Each of the Content Server document classes is configured with the index fields listed in the table below. The index fields that are defined for both document classes (Content ID, Type, Title, Author, and Security Group) are mapped to Content Server parameters that are required for successful check-in of documents to Content Server.

The additional index fields defined for ScannedDocsParam are provided in the document class for illustration purposes only. They are examples of index fields that might hypothetically be mapped to Content Server parameters using the CHECKIN Parameters Editor.

ScannedDocs Index Fields	ScannedDocsParam Index Fields
Content ID	Content ID
Type	Type
Title	Title
Author	Author
Security Group	Security Group
N/A	Release Date
N/A	Release Time
N/A	Finished
N/A	LIDebug
N/A	Create Date
N/A	Create Time
N/A	Revision Label
N/A	Expiration Date
N/A	Expiration Time
N/A	Do Security Check

C.3.1.7 Form Types

Installing and configuring the Kofax Capture release script as described sets up the two sample document classes with the form types shown in the figure below.

The form types (SimpleForm and SimpleFormParameters) are provided for the Content Server document classes because at least one form type must be defined for a document class. Because a form type defines a unique form, you will set up your own form types to meet the needs of your specific application.

Note:

Kofax Capture lets you control how your released files (as specified on the Document Storage tab) are checked in to Content Server.

There are two drop-down menus available: one for the primary file and one for the alternate file. Within each menu, you can choose: Image, Kofax PDF, Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF, or OCR full text. The Alternate file menu also includes a None option in case you do not want to check in an alternate file.

You can use the menus to, for example, select Image at the primary (native) file and Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF as the alternate (web-viewable) file.

Note:

Content Server does not allow two files with the same file extension (such as .pdf) to be both the primary and alternate file.

Note:

For information on using Adobe Acrobat Capture and checking in Adobe Acrobat Capture PDFs, see Section C.5.

C.3.2.15 Setting Workflow Status

The Kofax Capture release script enables you to initiate an existing workflow in Content Server when an item is released from Kofax Capture.

Note:

The workflow setting on this dialog refers to a Content Server workflow, not an Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow.

Note:

An active workflow must exist in Content Server before an item released from Kofax Capture can enter it.

1. Navigate to the Server tab on the Release Setup dialog.

2. Set the workflows status using the Allow Workflows check box.

   • Select the check box to enable initiation of workflows when content items are released from Kofax and checked in to Content Server.

   • Clear the check box to disable initiation of workflows when content items are released from Kofax and checked in to Content Server.

     Note:

     The Kofax Capture release script will initiate check in of a content item revision if the user specifies an existing content ID on the Validation dialog.

   • If the Allow Workflows check box is not selected, the revision will be checked in unconditionally.

   • If the Allow Workflows check box is selected, the content item identified by the user (on the Validation dialog) must be checked out of Content Server before Kofax Capture initiates check in. If the content item is not checked out, the check in will fail with an error message.

C.3.2.16 Setting Options for Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF Files With Errors

When an Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF file contains an error, you can stop it from being checked in to Content Server so you can review it.

With the Check In Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF with Errors option, you can allow the check in of a PDF generated by Adobe Acrobat Capture that has any errors in the Adobe Acrobat Capture finished document log. In addition, you can choose to keep the PDF file, so it remains in the release directory where you can review it.

To set PDF error options:

1. Navigate to the Server tab on the Release Setup dialog.

2. Choose the PDF error checking option:

   • Leave the Check In Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF with Errors option unchecked to ensure that all PDF files containing errors are not checked in to Content Server.

   • Check the Check In Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF with Errors option to check all PDF files in to Content Server, even if they contain errors.

3. Determine if the files with errors remain or are deleted:

   • To keep the PDF files with errors in the release directory, select the Keep primary and alternate files in the release directory when the check in fails option, which is selected by default.

   • To delete PDF files with errors from the release directory, clear the Keep primary and alternate files in the release directory when the check in fails option.

   You may also want to use the Salvage PDF documents option, described in Section C.5.3

C.3.2.17 Accessing CHECKIN Parameters Editor

When you want to map Kofax Capture index fields to Content Server CHECKIN parameters, use the CHECKIN Parameters Editor. To access the editor:

1. Navigate to the Server tab on the Release Setup dialog.

2. Click the CHECKIN Service Parameters button. The CHECKIN Parameters Editor dialog opens.

Note:

For information on how to create mappings, see Section C.3.3.

C.3.3 Mapping Kofax Index Fields to CHECKIN Parameters

When a Kofax Capture release script is used to check documents in to Content Server, one of two Content Server IdcCommand services is used:

• The CHECKIN_ARCHIVE service is used if the Allow Workflows check box is selected on the Server tab of the Release Setup dialog. See Section C.3.2.15.

• The CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL service is used if the Allow Workflows check box is not selected on the Server tab of the Release Setup dialog. See Section C.3.2.15.

Each CHECKIN service specifies certain required parameters to successfully execute the content item check-in process. Other parameters may be specified but are not required.

Note:

For more information on Content Server CHECKIN services and parameters, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Services Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content.

This section covers the following topics:

• Section C.3.3.1, "Setting Up Mappings for Required Parameters"

• Section C.3.3.2, "Setting Up Mappings for Optional Parameters"

• Section C.3.3.3, "Setting Up Date and Time Parameters"

• Section C.3.3.4, "Debugging Using LIDebug Parameter"

C.3.3.1 Setting Up Mappings for Required Parameters

When using Kofax Capture, it is necessary for Kofax Capture to have, at a minimum, index fields that correspond to the content information (metadata) fields that Content Server requires for content item check in. The following list of index fields must exist in the Kofax document class or the batch class.

• Content ID (unless auto-generation of Content IDs is enabled in Content Server)

• Type

• Title

• Author

• Security Group

• Account (if security accounts are enabled)

Note:

Index fields must be named exactly as they are shown in the list above, so that the release script can recognize them as required fields and correctly format them for Content Server.

C.3.3.2 Setting Up Mappings for Optional Parameters

Note:

You should have a solid understanding of Content Server CHECKIN services and parameters before proceeding to set up mappings. Invalid parameters will cause a batch to fail during release/check-in.

To specify other check-in parameters, for example, release date, expiration date, and so forth:

1. Set up index fields for the desired parameters. For more information, see Section C.3.1.5.

2. Set up index values for the Kofax Capture release script. For more information, see Section C.3.2.3.

3. Open the CHECKIN Parameters Editor. For more information, see Section C.3.2.17.

4. Click Add.

5. From the User Interface Name list in the Parameter Detail dialog, select the desired index field.

6. In the Content Server Parameter field, enter the name of the parameter.

   Note:

   Pay close attention to spelling and syntax when entering the parameter.

7. Click OK.

8. From the CHECKIN Parameters Editor list mapping, add, edit, or delete mappings as desired. When you are finished, click Save to exit and save your changes, or click Cancel to exit without saving your changes.

9. Click Yes to confirm the action.

10. Click OK to exit the Release Setup dialog.

11. Click Close to exit the Release Scripts dialog.

12. Publish the batch class so that your changes are in effect when you next use the batch class to import or scan documents.

C.3.3.3 Setting Up Date and Time Parameters

Content Server date fields include both the date and the time in one field. Kofax Capture uses separate fields for date and time.

To concatenate date and time into a single check-in parameter:

1. Set up an index field for the date field (for example, Release Date). Be sure to use the Date field type when defining the index field.

2. Set up an index field for the time field (for example, Release Time). Be sure to use the Time field type when defining the index field.

3. Use the CHECKIN Parameters Editor to map the date index field to the desired Content Server check-in parameter. For example, map Release Date to dInDate.

4. Use the CHECKIN Parameters Editor to map the time index field to the same Content Server check-in parameter. For example, map Release Time to dInDate.

C.3.3.4 Debugging Using LIDebug Parameter

If a mapping LIDebug:LIDebug is created, and if the value is set to TRUE during the validation step, the .hda data that is passed from Kofax Capture to Content Server will be displayed when the release script is run. This allows the user to verify that the correct data and parameters are being passed to Content Server.

C.3.4 Verifying Kofax Capture Installation

Perform the following tasks to verify that Kofax Capture is installed and configured correctly.

• Section C.3.4.1, "Create a Batch"

• Section C.3.4.2, "Process Batch: Scan Queue"

• Section C.3.4.3, "Process Batch: Validation Queue"

• Section C.3.4.4, "Process Batch: Release Queue"

Note:

Before proceeding, make sure that Content Server is running and that the Kofax dongle (hardware key) is in place.

C.3.4.1 Create a Batch

To create a batch:

1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, then choose Programs, then Kofax Capture, then Batch Manager.

2. Select File, then New Batch.

3. In Batch class drop-down list, select ScansOracleWebCenter.

4. Click Save.

5. Click Close. The new batch opens in the Batch Manager main dialog. The batch should be at the Scan queue and should show a Ready status.

C.3.4.2 Process Batch: Scan Queue

After creating the batch, perform a scan:

1. In the Kofax Capture Batch Manager main dialog, select File, then Process Batch.

2. In the Scan module, select Software Import from the list.

3. Select Scan, then Start.

4. In the Import dialog, select a sample TIFF file, and click Open. A TIFF image is added to the batch contents.

5. Select Batch, then Close.

6. Click Yes to confirm the action. In the Batch Manager main dialog, the batch should be at the Validation queue and should show a Ready status.

C.3.4.3 Process Batch: Validation Queue

After running the Scan queue, perform a validation:

1. In the Kofax Capture Batch Manager dialog, select File, then Process Batch.

2. In the Validation module, enter the required Content Server Field Info values. Specify a Content ID if necessary, based on this information:

   • Use the default batch with the default Content ID: The content will be checked in with a unique suffix added to the Content ID Kofax0001.

   • Do not specify a Content ID (you can remove the default Content ID by changing the batch or by deleting the Content ID in the validation step): If Content Server is configured to automatically assign a Content ID, the content is checked in with this automatic ID. If Content Server is not configured to assign a Content ID, an error message opens during the release process.

   • Specify a Content ID: The content is checked in to Content Server with the specified Content ID and without a unique suffix added. If a content item with the same Content ID is already checked in, the new document is checked in as a new revision of the existing content item.

3. Select Batch, then Close.

4. If prompted, click Yes to save data before closing document. In the Batch Manager main dialog, the batch should be at the Release queue and should show a Ready status.

C.3.4.4 Process Batch: Release Queue

After running the Validation queue, perform a release:

1. In the Kofax Capture Batch Manager dialog, select File, then Process Batch.

   • If the Release queue runs without error, the TIFF image is checked in to Content Server.

   • If the Release queue results in errors, check the error messages.

2. Exit the Batch Manager module.

C.4 User Interface

This section provides information about the user interface and covers the following topics:

• Section C.4.1, "Release Setup Page"

• Section C.4.2, "Index Storage Tab"

Element	Description
Batch class	The name of this batch class. A batch class describes how the documents in a batch will be processed. A batch class contains one or more document classes, which in turn contain one or more form types. This allows you to have different kinds of documents and forms within one batch.
Document class	The name of this document class. A document class is a definition of a particular type of document, such as an order form or medical form. Document classes provide a convenient mechanism for associating the same group of index fields and processing settings with multiple form types. You can define a document class, and then add one or more form types to it. Then, you can associate a set of index fields and processing settings with the document class. The same set of fields and settings will be shared across all the form types defined for the document class.
Name	The name for this release script.
Index Storage tab	Opens the Index Storage Tab (see Section C.4.2).
Document Storage tab	Opens the Document Storage Tab (see Section C.4.3).
Image Format tab	Opens the Image Format Tab (see Section C.4.4).

C.4.2 Index Storage Tab

Use the Index Storage tab on the Release Setup page to set index values for the batch class. The Kofax Capture release script establishes assignments for the required information field items found in an initial Content Server installation. The values assigned to the index fields are supplied from the Validation module during Kofax Capture batch processing.

Note:

You must add index fields to a document class before they are available to assign as index values in a customized release script. By default, all index fields currently defined for the selected document class will be in the list of index values.

Element	Description
Sequence number	Use the sequence position to establish the priority for the specified index values.
Index Value	The Content Server metadata parameters used for index values associated with the new file check-in.
Add	Opens a dialog to add a new metadata parameter as an index value.
Delete	Removes a selected index value from the list.
Delete All	Removes all of the listed index values.
Up / Down	Used to adjust the specific placement order of the selected entry in the index values list. The position of each entry in the list is relevant to its priority for batch processing. The higher an entry is positioned in the list, the higher its priority is in the processing. Each click on the up or down arrow moves the selected entry up or down one position in the list.

C.4.3 Document Storage Tab

Use the Document Storage tab on the Release Setup page to view or change the directory paths for released files and to set how Kofax Capture monitors the Acrobat Capture PDF conversion process.

Element	Description
Release image files	Select this check box if you want to release your image files.
Release directory	Enter the path to the folder to which you want to release the files. If desired, you can use the Browse button. Note: The path to the Image Files release directory must not exceed 122 characters.
Skip first page of each document	Select this check box if you do not want the first page of your documents released. For example, you might want to check this option if you are using separator sheets to separate the documents in your batches and do not want to release the separator sheets. Note: If you are not using separator sheets, checking this option will cause the first page of each document to be skipped (not released).
Release OCR full text files	Select this check box if your want to release your OCR full text files.
Release directory	Enter the path to the folder to which you want to release the files. If desired, you can use the Browse button. Note: The path to the OCR full text files release directory must not exceed 122 characters.
Release Kofax PDF files	Select this check box to release Kofax PDF files.
Release directory	Enter the path to the folder to which you want to release the files. If desired, you can use the Browse button. Note: The path to the Kofax PDF files release directory must not exceed 122 characters.

C.4.4 Image Format Tab

Use the Image Format tab on the Release Setup page to set the format (file type) of released images.

Element	Description
Image file type	Provides a list of file types to use to check documents in to Content Server.
Settings	Opens the Adobe Acrobat Capture Settings (see Section C.4.5).

C.4.5 Adobe Acrobat Capture Settings

Use the Settings button to open the Adobe Acrobat Capture Settings dialog box where you can specify PDF settings.

Element	Description
Workgroup Hub	Select the location of your Adobe Acrobat Capture workgroup hub by using the Browse button. The workgroup hub is a folder on a drive accessible to all stations off the workgroup. Each workstation in the group needs read and write access to the hub folder to operate. The workgroup hub property is required by Adobe Acrobat Capture. Upon selection of a workgroup hub, the Dictionaries and Workflow's properties will be populated with default values.
Watched Folder	Select the location of your Adobe Acrobat Capture watched folder by using the Browse button. This is where your files and images will be temporarily copied for PDF processing. The watched folder property is required by Adobe Acrobat Capture and is used to submit your files to the Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow.
Page Content	Select the desired output format for your PDF images. You can choose from the following: Formatted Text & Graphics: Each page of a Formatted Text & Graphics file, also known as PDF Normal, is made up of a combination of text and bitmap images. It is the default page content. It contains text that is scalable and can be indexed, searched, and copied to the clipboard. The documents preserve page formatting and graphic images. Searchable Image - Exact: Searchable Image (Exact) page content shares the same features with PDF Normal, but also includes complete bitmaps for each page of the original document. Select this format when you need to keep the original scanned image of a document for legal or archival purposes but want the document to be searchable. Searchable Image - Compact: Searchable Image (Compact) is a more compressed version of Searchable Image (Exact) in which text regions that contain no color are stored as monochrome rather than full-color images and can be indexed, searched, and copied to the clipboard. Image Only: Image Only page content stores the entire content of each page as one large bitmap. Searches against the contents of these types of files are not available. However, processing PDF files of this type are tremendously faster as the PDF engine does not perform character or font recognition on the images. Note that the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 Personal Edition does not decrement the Adobe hardware key for Image Only page content. Note: The "Formatted Text & Graphics," "Searchable Image (Compact)," and "Searchable Image (Exact)" formats use the Adobe Acrobat Capture OCR engine to perform OCR on the text. You can control the behavior of the engine for words or characters that cannot be recognized by selecting "Suspect Regions" options, as described below.
Language	Select the desired language. The default is English (U.S.). Changing the language from English (U.S.) changes the character set, the primary spelling dictionary, and (with some languages) the recognition engine.
PDF Document Information	Enter or select the desired PDF document information. When viewing the PDF file, your selections will show up as "Document Info." You can enter text, select an index field, batch field, or an Kofax Capture Value for Title, Subject, Author, or Keywords.
Dictionaries	Select the desired dictionary for OCR processing. You can accept the default Adobe Acrobat Capture dictionary or select a predefined custom dictionary to process your documents. Note that the default dictionary is automatically populated after a workgroup hub has been selected.
Workflows	Select the desired workflow for Adobe Acrobat Capture processing. You can accept the default Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow or select a different workflow. Workflow's are automatically populated after a workgroup hub has been selected. Note that your workflow must have a designated watched folder. Adobe Acrobat Capture lets you create your own workflow or use one of the predefined workflow's.
Suspect Regions	Select the desired behavior for how suspect regions should be handled. A suspect region is one that the Adobe Acrobat Capture engine cannot recognize with a confidence level greater than or equal to your selected OCR confidence threshold.
OCR confidence below	Enter or select the desired OCR confidence threshold. If the confidence of a word is below the set confidence threshold, the word will be replaced with the original bitmap region. The default is 95 percent. You can choose a value from 0 to 100 percent. During processing, the Adobe Acrobat Capture engine assigns to each word a value that indicates how confident the engine is that its results are correct. The confidence threshold you choose will determine the minimum value returned from the engine that you want to accept. Only those words with a confidence level greater than or equal to your threshold will be returned as correct. All others will be returned as "Suspect Regions" and replaced with the original bitmap region.
Suspect font	Select to replace unusual fonts with the original bitmap region if the confidence of the font is below the OCR confidence threshold.
Word not in dictionary	Select to replace a word with the original bitmap region if the word is not found in the specified dictionary.
Mixed alphanumeric	Select to replace a word with the original bitmap region if a word is found that contains mixed alpha and numeric characters.
Numeric only	Select to replace a word with the original bitmap region if a word is found that contains only numeric characters.
Advanced Settings	Select the appropriate check boxes to turn on and off advanced features.
Create thumbnails	Select to create thumbnails for every page in the document. Note that enabling this setting increases the file size significantly.
Embed fonts	Select to embed fonts in your document. This ensures that the fonts will be the ones you choose, even if those fonts are absent from the computer displaying the document. Embedded fonts must be identified in the Adobe Acrobat Capture Image Properties dialog box or assigned in Reviewer. Note that enabling this setting increases the file size significantly.
Enable links	Select to enable hyperlinks within your document such as table of contents, chapter, and index references. This will also add bookmarks to your PDF file for any titles and headings in your document.
Enable structure	Select to provide invisible tags for structural elements to use for searching and document navigation with PDF viewers. It is particularly useful to visually impaired users using a text-based user interface such as that provided by Adobe Document Server.
Automatic page rotation	Select to automatically detect the correct orientation of the page and rotate the image to that orientation. You may choose to clear this option if you know that all input pages will be properly oriented or if a step that handles rotation precedes the Capture Image step in your Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow.
Poll Adobe Acrobat Capture for status on submitted documents	Select this check box to allow Kofax Capture to monitor the status of the Adobe Acrobat Capture conversion process. When polling is enabled, status messages are displayed at the Release workstation in the Kofax Capture PDF Release dialog box. Clear this check box to allow Kofax Capture to release document to Adobe Acrobat Capture and close the batch. The status of the Adobe Acrobat Capture conversion process will not be returned to Kofax Capture.
Delete Adobe Acrobat Capture document if a processing error occurs	Select this check box to automatically cancel any "hung" documents in Adobe Acrobat Capture if an error occurs during the PDF conversion process. If cleared, the documents in error will remain in the Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow. This property is only available if you select the "Poll Adobe Acrobat Capture for status on submitted documents" check box. Note: If an Adobe Acrobat Capture error occurs during release, you must clear your Adobe Acrobat Capture finished documents and cancel any "hung" documents, either automatically or manually, before re-releasing the same documents in Kofax Capture.

C.4.6 Server Tab

The Server tab on the Release Setup page is used to specify settings for Content Server URL, user name, and password; to select options for workflow and primary/alternate file check in formats; and to access the CHECKIN parameters editor.

C.5.3 Setting Global Options

This section covers the following topics:

• Section C.5.3.1, "About Global Options"

• Section C.5.3.2, "Salvaging PDF Documents"

• Section C.5.3.3, "Limiting the Error Check of the Adobe Acrobat Capture Log"

C.5.3.1 About Global Options

There is a Global Options dialog that you can use to:

• Salvage PDF documents

• Limit the error check of the Adobe Acrobat Capture log

To set either of these options, you must have write privileges to the registry. If you have any question regarding these settings, you may want to contact your system administrator or Information Technology department.

These settings only affect the workstation that is running the Release Script. If you use more than one release station, you may want to set these options on each one.

C.5.3.2 Salvaging PDF Documents

You can salvage PDF documents in the release directory for check in to prevent reconversion of the TIFF file in Adobe Acrobat Capture.

Note:

If you run batches unattended, you must disable this feature. It is disabled by default.

It is recommended that you configure a separate release directory for each Kofax release station in order to prevent detection of PDF files generated by another batch running in a different release station. The dialog appears when a TIF would be sent to Adobe Acrobat Capture for PDF creation. If a format other than PDF is used, the dialog does not appear.

To salvage a PDF:

1. Run StellentRelOptions.exe, which is typically installed in Kofax Capture Install\Bin\StellentRel, to open the Global Options dialog.

2. Select Show Salvage PDF Dialog when PDF files are detected in the release directory.

3. Click OK.

4. Run the release script for the batch as usual.

   When the release script runs, it will inspect the release directory for PDF files. If PDF files exist, the following dialog opens, from which you can select a file to check in. Using this you can salvage the PDF if the check in fails but the file is still valid, rather than creating a new PDF from Capture.

5. From the list of PDF files that appear, select what you would like to do:

   • Click Check In to select the PDF for check in as the primary or alternate file (without needing to go through the Adobe Acrobat Capture step).

   • Click Open to display the PDF in its associated application, which is typically Adobe Acrobat Reader.

   • Click Delete to delete the PDF file from the release directory.

   • Click Cancel (or press the Esc key on your keyboard) to have Adobe Acrobat Capture create the PDF as usual.

   Note:

   The Check In, Open and Delete buttons are available once you select a PDF file from the dialog.

C.5.3.3 Limiting the Error Check of the Adobe Acrobat Capture Log

You can limit the error check of the Adobe Acrobat Capture finished document log to documents that finished within a given number of hours from the present time. This setting can be changed by running the StellentRelOptions.exe that is typically installed in Kofax Install Dir\Bin\StellentRel.

To set the log history limit:

1. Run StellentRelOptions.exe, which is typically installed in Kofax Capture Install\Bin\StellentRel, to open the Global Options dialog.

2. Select Acrobat Capture Document Finished Log History Limit.

3. Enter the cut off point, in hours, for the log file. The Adobe Acrobat Capture log will be limited to entries within the period of time you specify. Any entries older than the time entered will not be inspected. Typically, you do not need to change this value.

4. Click OK.
