    Additionally, select the Body option for the Handle body of nested emails as field in Document conversion tab of Message Connector Configuration.

Include original content

Select this check box if you want to include original document before document conversion.

Include complete message as EML file

Select this check box if you want to include original document in EML format.

Include complete message as MSG file

Select this check box if you want to include original document in MSG format.

Originals import mode

If you select to import documents with original content or EML, you can choose whether to import the original content to Kofax Capture or to save it to the Kofax Capture batch folder.

Convert to

Select your preferred conversion format (TIFF or PDF or both).

Note If you don't want to convert your documents, clear both TIFF and PDF, and select one or more of the following options: Include original content, Include complete message as EML file, Include complete message as MSG file. Then set Originals import mode either to Save to disk or to Import into Kofax Capture.
Scale to

Select your page size for scaling:

  • No scaling (Default)

  • Ledger: 11.0" x 17.0"

  • Legal : 8.5" x 14"

  • Letter : 8.5" x 11"

  • Executive: 10.5" x 7.25"

  • Half-Letter: 5.5'' x 8.5"

  • A3: 297mm x 420mm

  • A4: 210mm x 297mm

  • A5: 148mm x 210mm

  • A6: 105mm x 148mm

  • B3: 353mm x 500mm

  • B4: 250mm x 353mm

  • B5: 176mm x 250mm

  • B6: 125mm x 176mm

  • JIS B3: 364mm x 515mm

  • JIS B4: 257mm x 364mm

  • JIS B5 : 182mm x 257mm

  • JIS B6 : 128mm x 182mm

  • C3: 324mm x 458mm

  • C4: 229mm x 324mm

  • C5: 162mm x 229mm

  • C6: 114mm x 162mm

  • Match best: This option matches the document size with the nearest available page size.

  • Match best Euro: This option matches the document size with only the standard European page sizes.

  • Match best US: This option matches the document size with only the standard US paper sizes (letter and legal).

Note
  • Page size scaling does not apply for documents (for example, Word, Excel, text, PDF) to pdf conversion. You can perform page size scaling for document/image to TIFF conversion.

  • Match best, Match best US and Match best Euro option are only applicable for PDF to TIFF conversion. At the time of matching the best page size, Width has higher precedence over aspect ratio (width/height).

Conversion mode

Select what parts of a document do you want to convert.

  • Convert all content: Converts images as well as non-image content to configured format.

  • Convert only non image content and normalize images: Converts non-image content and additionally normalizes images.

  • Convert only non image content: Converts only the non-image content and images are not changed.

Image format

If you select to convert documents into images, you can select the resolution and color of the converted document. The supported combinations are:

  • 200x200 DPI, black and white

  • 200x200 DPI, color

  • 200x200 DPI, grayscale

  • 300x300 DPI, black and white

  • 300x300 DPI, color

  • 300x300 DPI, grayscale

Note Images are only converted if image resolution is higher than requested or if horizontal and vertical resolutions are not equal.
Note JPEG-encoded color TIF documents are not converted to grayscale.
Compress image to

Specify to what extent should images be compressed. The value 100 means no compression. This only applies to grayscale and color TIFF images. Compression may affect image quality.

Message rendering

Select this option to render metadata and XML documents to PDF or TIFF format. The parameters "Convert to" and "Conversion Mode" are also applied to XML rendering. Refer to Kofax Import Connector Administrator's Guide.

  • Click Show Files for Visual Designer to display the folder with files for Altova StyleVision. You can then use StyleVision to create a transformation style sheet that defines how information should be organized in PDF/TIFF format.

  • Click Preview to show how a rendered XML document (or the rendered metadata) will look like.

VRS

VRS is used to improve the quality of incoming images in order to make it easier for Kofax Capture to understand them.

  • VRS only original images content: Applies VRS processing to documents that reached the import connector in image format (but not to documents that were converted to image format by import connector).

  • VRS all images: Applies VRS settings to all images. This means that, those documents that were converted to image format by import connector are processed by VRS. Usually, this is not recommended for Word or Excel documents. However, you can use the image conversion of import connector to modify the resolution/color of an image and then use VRS for further processing.

  • None: Disables VRS for all content.

VRS Settings

Click to display the VRS Settings window.

Use VRS engine for PDF to TIFF conversion

If VRS is enabled, to improve PDF documents, select this check box to use VRS engine for PDF to TIFF conversion.

Batch size

Enter the number of messages to be grouped in one Kofax Capture batch. For example, with Batch size = 1, a new batch is created for each incoming message. With Batch size = 5, the Kofax Import Connector instance waits until 5 messages are available (unless the Batch timeout is reached before that) and then it creates a single batch with all messages.

  • For folder import, each file is considered as a message.
  • For email import, each email is considered as a message. The number of attachments in an email are not counted as a message.
Note Maximum limit for a Batch size is 100. If you specify a Batch size value more than 100, it is automatically set back to 100.

Batch timeout

Enter the timeout value in seconds. After this time, a batch is closed and sent to Kofax Capture, even if the maximum number of messages in a batch is not reached.

Batch priority

This is the Kofax Capture batch priority.
