Ascent® 7.0 Release Script for IBM DB2 Content Manager Enterprise 8.3/8.4 Release Notes
14 Kofax, Inc.
Adobe Acrobat Capture Options
The Ascent 7.0 Release Script for IBM DB2 Content Manager Enterprise supports Adobe Acrobat
Capture. This section contains information related to using Adobe Acrobat Capture or your
Adobe PDF images.
For additional details about creating Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF documents, refer to the
documentation that came with your Adobe Acrobat Capture product.
Refer to the Content Manager Help for details about how Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF documents
and non-image files are released to the DB2 Content Manager system (Help keyword: File format
combinations).
Operating System Requirements for Ascent Capture
To release Adobe PDF documents, your Ascent Capture Administration and Release workstations
must be running on Windows XP or Windows 2000 computers. Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows Me, and Windows NT are not supported operating systems for Ascent Capture.
Adobe Acrobat Capture and the Ascent Capture Release Workstation Installations
During the conversion process, communication must occur between Adobe Acrobat Capture and
the Ascent Capture Release module. However, due to timing conflicts, Adobe Acrobat Capture
and Ascent Capture cannot be run at the same time on a workstation. Therefore, Adobe Acrobat
Capture and Ascent Capture must be installed on separate workstations on the same LAN.
Workflow Steps
Adobe Acrobat Capture lets you create your own workflow or use one of the predefined
workflows. Note the following:
For complete image conversion for Formatted Text & Graphics or Searchable Image page content,
a basic Adobe Acrobat Capture workflow needs to contain at least four steps, in the following
order:
1
Capture Image
2
Bind Pages
3 Export to PDF
4 Store File (PDF)
For complete image conversion for Image Only page content, the Adobe Acrobat Capture
workflow needs to be called “PDF Image Only” and contain at least three steps, in the following
order:
1 Convert Image to PDF
2 Combine PDFs
3 Store File (PDF)
Note When creating workflows, do not include manual steps such as Quick Fix Page, Review
Document, and Zone Images. If you do, Adobe Acrobat Capture will stop running when it
encounters any of these steps and require manual processing by the user. This kind of workflow is
not suitable for Ascent Capture Release because it disrupts the automated process of releasing
Adobe PDF documents.
