Generate PDF 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.
The expanded PDF Generate functionality can be divided into three categories:
- Metadata
- Bookmarks
- Annotations
