Folder Properties

Access this dialog box by clicking the Folder Properties button in the Tools ribbon.

The Folder Properties dialog box shows you the name of the selected folder and the current color assigned to that folder. It also offers DesktopDelivery folder settings.

To rename the folder, enter a new name in the upper box.

To change the current color, select a different one from the list, and click OK.

The dialog box shows you the folder location. To see the entire path, position your cursor in the path and use the right arrow key on your keyboard to scroll the display to the left.

In PaperPort Professional folder notes can be automatically applied. Turn on this feature in the Folder Properties dialog box by selecting the checkbox Automatically apply Folder Notes to choose how to proceed if an imported PDF file already has item properties. You can:

Overwrite the existing texts with the texts from folder notes,
Merge the notes from both sources, or
Prompt: decide how to proceed each time this happens.

If folder notes were added, they remain with the PDF file even if it is moved or copied to a folder without folder notes enabled.

Check the option Apply Folder Notes to password protected documents and choose password to help prevent other people from opening or modifying your documents. For more information see About password protection of PDF files.

DesktopDelivery Folder Settings

Select the checkbox Deliver files from your e-mail folder to monitor for incoming JPEG, MAX, PDF or TIFF file attachments. For details see Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes users under Monitored folders.

Select the checkbox Deliver files from a network or local folder to monitor for incoming JPEG, MAX, PDF or TIFF files. Click Browse to locate the folder you want DesktopDelivery to monitor and click OK.

To convert the imported files to PDF, mark the checkbox Convert documents to PDF.

Note

The Convert documents to PDF option should be turned on in the Folder Properties dialog box if you want to use the Automatically apply Folder Notes option.

Select Add to All-in-One Search to index all incoming files from monitored folders. If not selected, the incoming documents will not be automatically added to the All-in-One index. You can later manually update the index for these items.

To view the Windows properties associated with the folder, click More Properties.

Note

Various combinations can be combined (apply notes, do not apply notes, ask for user, owner or any password and apply notes) regarding whether you apply notes to password protected documents or document has access restriction, user or owner password.
