2021

This article is in development for the upcoming version of Grooper, Grooper 2021. PDF Generate is a new Content Type Behavior option in 2021. This information is incomplete and/or may change by the time of release.

PDF Generate' is a Content Type 'Behavior' designed to create an exportable PDF file using the classification and extraction content of a Batch Folder. This includes capabilities to export extracted data as PDF metadata, inserting bookmarks, and creating PDF annotations, such as highlighting, checkbox and signature widgets.

About

The PDF Generate Behavior allows Grooper users to more fully leverage the capabilities of the PDF file type. The standard PDF Export Format in Grooper will use the page image files and their text data to create a multipage PDF file for each document folder upon Export. However, this is just the "display information" required to open and read the document. There's a lot more to what a PDF can be than just a multipage document with page images and machine readable text. PDF content can also include metadata, keywords, bookmarks, annotations, and more!

PDF Generate creates an exportable PDF file that includes some of this additional content available to the PDF format. This is part of Grooper's evolving "Smart PDF Architecture". This is a design philosophy, striving to more fully utilize the capabilities of the PDF file type and merge them with Grooper's own document processing capabilities.

As a Behavior, PDF Generate is configured on a Content Type object, commonly a Content Model or a Document Type.

Here, we have selected a Content Model in the Node Tree.
To add a Behavior, select the Behaviors property and press the ellipsis button at the end.
This will bring up a dialogue window to add various behaviors to the Content Model, including the PDF Generate Behavior.
Add the PDF Generate Behavior to the list using the "Add" button.
Once added, you will see property options to configure PDF creation.

The expanded PDF Generate Behavior functionality can be divided into three categories:

Metadata
Bookmarks
Annotations
