Handle multipage TIF files

Tungsten Capture Import Connector - Folder splits incoming multipage TIF files into pages before importing them to Tungsten Capture. Tungsten Import Connector leverages existing Tungsten Capture batch class options to achieve similar results.

If you use Tungsten Capture Network Server, you can only perform batch class configuration on the central site.

  1. On the Windows Start menu, click Tungsten Capture > Tungsten Capture Administration.
  2. Select your batch class and edit its properties:
    1. On the Separation and Form Identification tab, select Tungsten Automation fixed pages.
    2. On the Advanced tab, select either option to configure the Process documents as independent batches setting.

      • Clear: Treats each page of a multipage TIF as a separate document.

      • Select: Treats each page of a multipage TIF as a separate batch.

  3. Select your form type and edit its properties:
    1. Select Fixed number of pages.
    2. Enter "1" in the field below.
  4. Publish the batch class to make the changes effective.
  5. In Tungsten Capture Administration, select Electronic Documents > Configuration.
  6. Select your destination and click Edit Destination.
    1. Go to the Import Mappings tab.
    2. In the Batch class field, select the batch class configured in Step 2.
    3. In the Document class field, select Loose Pages.
      Tungsten Import Connector only checks the form type and no other internal form type settings. Therefore, it ignores the Page separation and Fixed number of pages settings in the form type and only performs simple separation of creating document per attachment and creating document per message.
  7. Restart the Capture Plug-In service to make the changes effective.

As Tungsten Import Connector can combine multiple import connectors, therefore, the TIF splitting is available to any input document. You can restrict the TIF splitting only to documents imported from a folder by creating an exclusive destination and setting up an appropriate rule. See Add a rule.
