This activity converts all JPEG and TIFF media to multi-page PDF files, which can be exported (using one of the "Export Documents" activities) as searchable PDF files.
The Create Searchable PDF (ABBYY) activity is applied recursively to the sub-documents.
Note: This activity must be assigned to an Activities Service in order to run.
If for some reason you need to add this activity to the Process Designer, the file to add is xboundActImageCreatePDF.dll.
The following settings are available when configuring a process step of this activity type.

Type a value to save in the image properties. (This text will not be visible on the image.) If additional information already exists there, what you enter here will be separated by a semicolon from the existing information. Example: Before: ExistingInfo After: ExistingInfo;NewInfo | |
