Job Setup Tab
A job is a saved configuration that consists of bar code and index definitions as well as settings related to document separation, export, and more. Within a job, you create batches that consist of scanned documents and images.

Sets the export connector for the job. Click the setup tool to open the window where you configure export preferences for the selected connector (with most connectors, you cannot export batches until the preferences are configured). For some export connectors, you need to provide login credentials to open the setup window. Export connectors appear on the Connector list if they have been registered. |
|

If PDF settings are included on the setup window for the selected export connector, this window is not available. Click the setup tool to open the PDF Setup window, where you configure processing preferences for Kofax connectors that are set to export images in PDF format. |
|

To achieve the same result for other export connectors, select the "Skip first page of each document" setting on the export connector setup window. |
