If you would like to capture documents and/or other files that you have local access to, you may use these features to import those documents or files into Content Central. Single files can be uploaded using the Capture frame, and multiple files can be uploaded using the Drag & Drop Upload applet in the Catalog Browser.
Files can be individually uploaded using the Electronic Capture Type in the Capture frame. The following sections describe the various Coding Methods available when uploading documents.
Note
When uploading an existing PDF document, you will be presented with three upload options before the document is committed to the catalog.
- Capture file in original form
The document will be left as-is and committed to the catalog with the document properties supplied. If the document does not already contain OCR text for full-text searching, the only information that will be searchable will be the document properties.
- Convert to a fully-searchable PDF
The document will be converted to a new
PDFcontaining document properties and OCR for full-text searches.- Make fully-searchable, but leave file in original form
Images will be processed for OCR text, but the file will remain in its original format. The OCR and document properties will be stored only in the Content Central database.
The document may be viewed in the area below these options by selecting the link. After choosing an upload option, select the
