    PDF

    1. To concatenate the PDF files selected at the time of importing, select Concatenate multiple PDF files. (Default: Clear)

    2. To convert the PDF documents to the ISO-standardized PDF/A format, specialized for digital preservation of electronic documents, select Normalize PDF Documents to PDF/A. (Default: Clear).

    3. On the Output PDF format list, select one of the following output formats for normalized PDF files:

      • PDF

      • PDF/A-3u

      Note

      • If the input PDF file format is not compatible to be converted to the required output format, the actual output format may be downgraded. For example, if the input file version is PDF 1.5 and if the "Output PDF format" is set to PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2a or PDF/A-3a, the output PDF document is PDF/A-1b,PDF/A-2u or PDF/A-3u respectively.

      • For a complete list of supported input file formats and respective output PDF formats, refer to the Kofax TotalAgility Administrator's Guide.

    Allow conversion for files with extensions

    Provide a list of file types to allow for conversion. Each file type should be separated by a semi-colon. If the import source is email, this filter is only applicable for the email attachments.
