PDF Systems supported

The PDF Connector enables reading and writing PDF documents. A source directory is required for reading, and a destination directory for writing. Backup and error directories can be specified optionally. Syncs can be used to restrict read access to additional subdirectories.

Functions of the PDF API

• Filling out PDF forms (writing): Data from any source system is written to the form fields (AcroForm) of a PDF template—similar to mail merge.
• Extracting data from PDFs (reading): Form field values are extracted from PDF files and transferred to a target system. Additionally, image files can be converted to text using PdfOcrResult.

Application Scenarios for the PDF API

File Exchange: Files can be exchanged via FTP or SFTP. In an on-premises installation, local directories can be accessed as an alternative.
