PDF File Naming tab
Conversion Type
This is where you choose how many PDF files you will create from this conversion process:
- Convert to single PDF file: all images in the selected job files will be collected into a single PDF file.
- Convert by hierarchy level: each separation in the hierarchy will represent a new PDF file.
Hierarchy Split Level
If you chose "Convert by Hierarchy Level", you need to indicate at what level you want the split to happen. The default value is 1, but you are free to choose any of the 5 levels:
- Level 0 (Book)
- Level 1 (Chapter)
- Level 2 (Sub-chapter)
- Level 3 (Part)
- Level 4 (Section)
Output Directory
This is the location of the PDF file(s) you are about to create.
PDF File Name
The name of the PDF file takes on the job's name by default; however, you can change that here if you prefer.
Overwrite Existing Files & Suffix
Conversion 2 PDF Settings for Adding a Suffix to the File Name
You can choose to have ELAN Capture overwrite PDF files already in that folder with the same name. If you leave the box unchecked, ELAN Capture will add a suffix to the filename to make it unique. The default suffix is 01, but you are free to choose another if you like. If there are more than two files with the same file name, ELAN Capture will increment the suffix to 02, 03, 04 and so on. To add the suffix to the file name whether or not it is a duplicate, check the box beside Use always as suffix.
Replace Space Characters with an Underscore
If you intend to use hyperlinks to your files, you may not want spaces in the filename as these special characters sometimes cause problems for web-enabled applications. In this case, check this box and ELAN Capture will insert an underscore where there are spaces in the filename.
