Specify what happens to reference files during transfer

Background

Reference files are source files containing data or images imported to Kofax ReadSoft Entrance by interpreting image files. The reference files consist of a document reference, which is the file that was originally imported, even if it was a multi-image file that Kofax ReadSoft Entrance subsequently divided up into individual files.

During processing, Kofax ReadSoft Entrance can move or modify the source files in a number of ways, including:

After processing, the resulting files can therefore have a different name and/or format than the image files that were originally interpreted.

Depending on the requirements of your organization, you may need to keep not only the files resulting from Kofax ReadSoft Entrance processing but also the original files as they were received at Kofax ReadSoft Entrance' entry point (the Interpret module).
  

Use this procedure

  1. Open the job description that is to be used in Transfer.
  2. Click References.
  3. Select Move Document reference file. Then click the browse button and specify where to move them to.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Optional: To get the paths and file names in your output file, insert the #DocRef system variable in your transaction description.
Note Reference files must be deleted or archived manually now and then. When too many files accumulate, Windows slows down.

  • If you use XML output, the values of those variables are included in the output automatically.
  • To get the names and paths of image files resulting from Kofax ReadSoft Entrance processing, use these other variables: #Imagefile, #Imagefile1, or #Pages.
