Web capture action

Use the Web capture action to perform actions, such as scanning, selecting scanners, and importing and deleting pages.

You can associate a Web capture action on any button click and not just depend on the Web capture control toolbar to perform these actions.

The Web capture control supports the following events.

Event	Description
Document save complete	This event is fired when a scanned or uploaded document is saved.
Ingestion started	This event disables the File upload control when you scan or upload a document, because, during the scan, the folder is locked and does not allow uploading a file.
Ingestion completed	This event saves the changes and enables the File upload control when scan or upload is completed, and new pages are ingested.
Document changed	This event is fired when a Web capture control changes the document structure and deletes or moves a page within the document.
Page index changed	This event is fired when the selected page index changes.
Control undocked	This event is fired when a document viewer of the Web capture control is undocked (detached).
Control docked	This event is fired when a document viewer of the Web capture control is docked.

The Next page and Previous page actions and similar toolbar buttons do not change the selected page index; they just scroll the viewer to the next or previous page.

On the form modeling bar, click Actions and click New.

The New action dialog box is displayed.
On the Type list, select Web capture.
Change the default Name (WebCaptureAction1) to something meaningful.
Optional. Enter a Description for the action.
Optional. Configure a unique action for each language separately. See Configure multilingual actions for a form or control for more information.
On the Web capture list, select the capture control as needed.

On the Actions list, select an action. The available actions are:
