Adobe Acrobat Capture Options
Ascent 7.5 Release Script for Hummingbird DM supports Adobe Acrobat Capture. This section
contains information related to using Adobe Acrobat Capture for your Adobe PDF documents.
For additional details about creating Adobe PDF documents, refer to your Adobe Acrobat Capture
documentation.
For details about how Adobe Acrobat Capture PDF documents and non-image files are released to
the DM repository, refer to the Help available with Ascent 7.5 Release Script for Hummingbird
DM (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.
Releasing Adobe PDF Documents
To release in Adobe PDF format, you must install the appropriate Adobe Acrobat Capture
software. In addition, the release working directory must be available to the Ascent Capture
workstation where you are setting up the release script and the Adobe Acrobat Capture
workstation. One way to do this is to specify a UNC path for the Release directory. This can also
be done with a mapped drive, the drive letter and path must be the same on all workstations. If
you specify a local Release working directory, please note the following:
„
A folder with that name will be created on the Ascent Capture workstation, but it will not
be used.
„
The same path must already exist on the Adobe Acrobat Capture workstation.
„
Adobe PDF images will be placed in the folder on the Adobe Acrobat Capture workstation.
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)
