Using Kofax PDF Image Only

The Kofax PDF Image Only output option produces a PDF file that contains bitmaps for both images and text. The resulting files are significantly larger than image under text files, and they cannot be searched. However, image only files are simpler to create and do not require additional licensing from Kofax.

The following procedure assumes that your document and batch classes already exist. If not, you can make these selections while creating new classes.

  1. Open the Document Class Properties window.
    1. Click the PDF tab.
    2. Select Enable Kofax PDF generation.
    3. Select a dictionary.
    4. In the Recognition profiles list, select Kofax PDF Image Only.
    5. Select Skip first page of each document.
    6. Optionally set values in the information fields that are used as metadata when the file is opened in a PDF document reader after export.
    7. Click OK.
  2. Open the Batch Class Properties window.
    1. Click the Queues tab.
    2. Add the PDF Generator and other required modules.
    3. Click OK.
  3. Select the document class, right-click to open the Export Connector window, and select the export connector to be used for PDF output. You can select any connector that supports Kofax PDF output, including a custom export connector.
  4. On the export connector setup window, select the option for PDF output, and specify the output folder. Save the settings and exit the setup window.
  5. Publish the batch class.
