PDF Conversion Metadata Export

The PDF File Naming tab is available form the Conversion 2 PDF form.

Metadata Export

The export of the indexing information creates the important link from the production facilities to the back-end systems for business processes such as content, records and database management systems. Most legacy systems accept one or the other export formats and are able to pick up the metadata and content (PDF output) by using these files. It is possible to have a direct "connector" or "release script" based on these data structure.

The field mapping is conveniently enabled so that the user can easily add or remove custom or built-in metadata fields.

Enable XML Export:

It this option is checked, there will be one XML file created for each PDF file generated and the metadata values and field labels will be listed here. All metadata fields that are selected will be exported.

Sample XML file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<item>

       <field>

               <field_name>Folder</field_name>

               <field_value></field_value>
