Add document conversion profiles

See Document conversion profiles.

  1. Navigate to Capture > Document conversion profiles.
    The Document conversion profiles page appears.
  2. Click New.
    The New document conversion profile dialog box is displayed.
  3. Configure the following General settings:
    1. Enter a unique Name for the document conversion profile.
    2. Optional. Enter a Description for the document conversion profile.
      The description cannot be more than 255 alphanumeric characters.
    3. On the Document conversion timeout list, specify the time in seconds within which the document conversion should be completed; otherwise, the document conversion process stops. (Default: 600 Seconds)
    4. To allow the converter to extract zip files, select Enable ZIP file extraction. (Default: Clear)
    5. To allow the converter to extract PDF file from portfolio PDF file, select Enable portfolio PDF file extraction (Default: Clear)
    6. To allow conversion of XFA forms to PDF documents, select Flatten XFA forms to PDF documents using Adobe Experience Manager. (Default: Clear)

      Ensure the following:

      • Install the Adobe Experience Manager output service and ensure that the web service interface is available.

      • Configure the Adobe Experience Manager credentials in the Kofax Message Connector configuration.

      Note If support for Adobe LiveCycle is available, you can also use Adobe LiveCycle for conversion of XFA Forms.

    7. On the Convert to list, select the required output and configure the settings. Available options are:

      • None: The document conversion does not happen.

      • 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-2a

          PDF/A-3a

          PDF/A-1a

          PDF/A-2b

          PDF/A-3b

          PDF/A-1b(Default)

          PDF/A-2u

          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, see the Kofax TotalAgility Administrator's Guide.

        4. To embed the source files in the normalized PDF file, select Embed original source file. This option is only available when Output PDF format is set to PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b or PDF/A-3u.
          Note If the input source file is of XML type, it is not embedded in the normalized PDF file.

      • TIFF (Default):

        1. On the Scale to list, select one of the following options:

          No scaling (Default)

          		A6 (105mm x 148mm) C3 (324mm x 458mm)

          Ledger (11.0" x 17.0")

          B3 (353mm x 500mm)

          		C4 (229mm x 324mm)

          Legal (8.5" x 14")

          		B4 (250mm x 353mm) C5 (162mm x 229mm)

          Letter (8.5" x 11")

          Executive (10.5" x 7.25")

          		B6 (125mm x 176mm)

          Match best: This option matches the document size with the nearest available page size.

          Half Letter (5.5" x 8.5")

          		JIS B3 (364mm x 515mm)

          Match best Euro: This option matches the document size with only the standard European page sizes.

          A3 (297mm x 420mm)

          		JIS B4 (257mm x 364mm)

          Match best US: This option matches the document size with only the standard US paper sizes (letter and legal).

          A4 (210mm x 297mm) JIS B5 (182mm x 257mm)
          A5 (148mm x 210mm) JIS B6 (128mm x 182mm)

        2. On the Image color depth list, select the color for the output image as Black and white (default), Grayscale or Color.

        3. On the Image dpi list, select the resolution for the output image.

        4. On the Compression quality list, specify the compression percentage to perform on the output files. If 100 % is selected, no compression is performed. (Default: 75%)

          Note The Compression quality setting is only available when the Image color depth is set to Grayscale and Color for TIFF images. Compressing the images may affect image quality.

    8. In the Allow conversion for extensions field, 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. For example, if you want to allow the conversion of PNG and TEXT files, specify .png;.txt.
    9. To Allow conversion for files of size less or more than bytes, select an operator (Greater than or Less than) and specify a file size. (Default: >, 0. If you specify 0, this field is ignored.)
      TotalAgility will only allow the conversion of files which conforms to the specified settings. If the import source is email, this filter is only applicable for the email attachments.
    10. In the Skip conversion for extensions field, provide a list of file types to skip from 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. For example, to skip the conversion of PNG and TEXT files, specify .png;.txt.
    11. To Skip conversion for files of size less or more than bytes, select an operator (Greater than or Less than) and specify a file size. (Default: >, 0. If you specify 0, this field is ignored.)
      TotalAgility will skip the conversion of files which conforms to the specified settings. If the import source is email, this filter is only applicable for the email attachments.
    12. In the XML Rendering group, configure the following settings:
      Note To render XML documents, you must select "Create document from XML content" when configuring the Import sources. See Import sources.
      Page size

      Select the output file page size for rendering the XML files. Available options are:

      • Default: The converted document retains the actual page orientation.
      • Portrait
      • Landscape

      XSLT for XML rendering

      Specify the required XSLT code for formatting the XML file.

      Note If this field is empty, XML rendering is disabled.

      • KFXConverter settings: By default, each document conversion profile uses the default KFXConverter settings for document conversion. If required, you can modify these settings by specifying the updated settings in the XML format. The settings specified here will override the default KFXConverter settings. If you leave this field blank, the default KFXConverter settings are used.

        To create XML for updating KFXConverter settings, see Create XML format for KFXConverter settings.

        For detailed description of KFXConverter settings, refer to the Kofax TotalAgilty Administrator's Guide.

        When you upgrade TotalAgility from version 7.7.0 or lower, any settings modified in the KFXConverter.ini file remains intact. Any settings changed using this field will override the settings in the KFXConverter.ini file.
