Advanced Conversion and Import tab

Use this tab to configure advance conversion and import parameters.

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.

Enable Portfolio PDF extraction

Select this check box to allow extraction of documents from PDF portfolio files.

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 Message Connector configuration.

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

Concatenate multiple PDF files

Select the desired option for importing the PDF files in Kofax Capture:

Note This option is enabled only when the PDF option is selected in the Convert to field of Import setting tab.

  • Import individual PDF files: Imports individual PDF files.

  • Import concatenated PDF only: Imports a merged PDF file.

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

If Body with message header is selected in the Import settings tab, message body is also included in the merged PDF.
Output PDF format

Select the output format for normalized PDF files. (Default: PDF/A-1b)

Note

  • In "Import settings" tab, make sure that at least one option is selected for the "Convert to" field.

  • If "Normalize PDF documents to PDFA" option is not selected, the incoming PDF files are not normalized to any of the selected format.

  • 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 format may be 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 PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b or PDF/A-3u.

Note 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.

For example, if you want to skip the conversion of PNG and TEXT files, specify .png .txt.
