Exporting eDocuments
The following sections describe how eDocuments are exported to the Documentum Content
Server repository, based on their storage location: a specified cabinet, folder or virtual
document.
Storing to a Cabinet / Folder
If a document to be exported contains eDocuments, and Store to Virtual Document is not
selected on the Storage Settings tab, the following occurs:
1 Each image is exported to a document object. The images are stored in Documentum
Content Server using the same image content type (file format). The document object is
given the name of the document (object_name) as specified on the Document Settings
tab.
2 A check is performed to verify the existence of a virtual document with the same name as
the document object from the preceding step.
▪ If it exists, the virtual document is checked out, versioned, and checked back in to the
Documentum Content Server repository.
▪ If it does not exist, the document object is converted to a virtual document and given
the same name as the document object.
3 eDocuments are added to a document object in the order they are imported. The
document objects are saved within their respective virtual documents. Each document
object name is based on the file name and extension supplied by Kofax Capture.
In addition, all eDocuments are exported using the format name suggested by
Documentum Content Server for the file being exported.
For example, a Microsoft Word document would get a suggested format name of “Word
document.” When viewed in the Documentum Content Server Desktop Client, the Word
document object’s format name attribute would have a value of “Word document.” In
addition, the user can double-click the document to view it in Microsoft Word.
Example: Consider the following list of single page images and eDocument files scanned
or imported into a specified cabinet or folder. Note that eDocuments are only imported.
1 .xls
2 .tif
3 .tif
4 .xls
5 .xls
6 .tif
In this case, the structure in the Documentum Content Server repository would be similar
to the following figure.
