Advanced Conversion and Import tab

Normalize PDF documents to PDF/A

Select this check box to convert PDF documents to the ISO-standardized format PDF/A specialized for digital preservation of electronic documents.

Convert XFA Forms using Adobe Experience Manager

Select this check box to allow conversion of PDF documents with XFA forms. Adobe Experience Manager output service must be installed and its web service interface must be available. Adobe Experience Manager credentials must be configured in TWS configuration.

If support for Adobe LiveCycle is available, you can also use Adobe LiveCycle for conversion of XFA Forms.

Concatenate multiple PDF files

Select one of the following options for importing the PDF files into Kofax Capture:

Import individual PDF files: Import individual PDF files.
Import concatenated PDF only: Imports a single merged PDF file.
Import concatenated and individual PDF files: Import individual PDF files and a merged PDF file.

In Import settings tab, select the PDF option in the Convert to field.

If Body with message header is selected in the Import settings tab, message header is also included in the concatenated PDF.

Output PDF Format

Select one of the following the output format for normalized PDF files:

PDF
PDF/A-1a
PDF/A-1b (Default)
PDF/A-2a
PDF/A-2b
PDF/A-2u
PDF/A-3a
PDF/A-3b
PDF/A-3u

If the input PDF file format is not compatible to be converted to the required output format, the actual output format may be downgraded. For example, if the input file version is PDF 1.5 and if the "Output PDF format" field is set to PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2a or PDF/A-3a, the output PDF document is PDF/A-1b,PDF/A-2u or PDF/A-3u respectively.

Embed Original Source file

Select this check box to embed the source files in the normalized PDF file. This option is only available when Output PDF format is set to PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b or PDF/A-3u.

If the input source file is of XML type, it is not embedded in the normalized PDF file.

PDPageDrawSmoothLineText, PDPageDrawSmoothLineArt, PDPageDrawSmoothLineImage, PDPageNoDither

Use these options of Adobe PDF Library SDK to configure the JPEG quality of the PDF to TIF conversion.

For example, these smoothing and rendering flags can be used to eliminate black lines introduced to certain types of PDF documents during document conversion. However, for some PDF documents, no combination of the flags can eliminate black lines when the expected TIF format is 200x200 DPI color or 200x200 DPI Grayscale.

Skip converting files

Provide a list of file types along with size (in bytes) that you do not want to convert. Use the "<" or ">" operators to specify the size for the file types. Each file type should be separated by a either ";" or ",". Use the "*" wild card for specifying all extensions.

Example 1: To skip the conversion of PNG files with size more than 5000 and BMP files with size more 10000, specify: .PNG > 5000, .BMP > 10000.

Example 2: To skip the conversion of all file types with size less than 2000 bytes, specify .* < 2000.

Example 3: To skip the conversion of PNG files, specify .PNG.

Example 4: To skip the conversion of all files that are smaller that 2000 bytes, specify .* < 2000.

Kofax Capture does not allow file extensions with more than four characters. For example, xyz.plain. An error message similar to the following is logged in the Kofax Capture Connector trace file when an extension with more than four characters is imported into Kofax Capture:

"Extensions must be between 1 and 4 characters long"

Skip importing files

Provide a list of file types along with size (in bytes) that you do not want to import. Use the "<" or ">" operators to specify the size for the file types. Each file type should be separated by a either ";" or ",". Use the "*" wild card for specifying all extensions.

Example 1: To skip the import of PNG files with size more than 5000 and BMP files with size more 10000, specify: .PNG > 5000, .BMP > 10000.

Example 2: To skip the import of all file types with size less than 2000 bytes, specify .* < 2000.

Example 3: To skip the import of PNG files, specify .PNG.

Example 4: To skip the import of all files that are smaller that 2000 bytes, specify .* < 2000.

Allow importing files with formats

Provide a list of file types which you want to import. Kofax Capture Connector imports the specified file types and skip the other file types. Each file type should be separated by a space.

For example, to import PNG and TEXT files, specify .png .txt.
