A beta release of the Data Conversion tool has support for multipage Normal and Image/Text PDF files. Some ResCarta users have been frustrated in finding a solution to archiving multipage PDF files in ResCarta. The new beta release of the Data Conversion tool allows users to read a directory full of multipage Normal PDF files and assign a blanket metadata set to each of the files.

The resulting ResCarta data has a ResCarta object created for each multipage file. The ResCarta object's title can be either the original file name or the TITLE field from the PDF file.

We have processed hundreds of files with little or no complaints from the toolkit. Files which are not PDF compliant are still problematic for the beta version.

To try the beta version see the download area of this website.
