The Folder Watcher service works on a predefined folder structure. The system administrator is responsible for building a watched folder structure before the watching service starts. While the service runs, the specified system directories – such as the error folder or working directories – are managed by the system. These are created and deleted as necessary.

The conversion server runs the OCR process and downloads the result documents to a specified folder.

Each watched folder should have a conversion setting file containing conversion parameters related to the container folder. In the case of a missing configuration file, the server uses the conversion settings specified for the parent folder.

In the case of a root watched folder, the service will automatically generate a setting file with the default settings. Use the Folder Configuration Editor to edit folder settings.
