Specify the Location of the Input File (PDF)

To specify the location of the Input File, complete the following steps:
Note: the Input File must already be in Portable Document Format (PDF)
  1. Check out and open the process you want to edit.

  2. In the Toolbox pane, click Document. A list of document activities is displayed.

  3. Double-click or drag the Convert to Searchable PDF activity into the process

  4. Link the activity appropriately with other activities.

  5. Right-click the Convert to Searchable PDF activity.  A shortcut menu is displayed.

  6. Select View Properties.  The Convert to Searchable PDF window is displayed.

  7. Click the Input File tab.  The Input File fields are displayed

  8. In the Input File Location field, select the appropriate input field editor and set the field to a value that is a file location accessible by the Process Engine service.

    Note:
    By default the File Browser editor is selected. To select an input file location using the File Browser editor, click the File Browser icon and navigate to the location on your system. The Process Engine may not have permission to work with files on your local machine, so a network share is preferred.


  9. In the Authentication section, select the Run as BPM Server or Specify credentials option.

    Note:
    If you select Run as BPM Server, access will be granted or rejected based on the BPM Server credentials. If you select Specify credentials, complete the Username, Password, and Include domain fields using the appropriate input field editors. The Include domain check box is optional.


  10. Click OK. You configured the activity to find your scanned document in the specified input file location
