ARCPDF, PDF-Datei archivieren
i-effect contains functions to archive objects and files. For this purpose, external archiving systems, such as the InfoStore system from SOLITAS, or the internal storage system of i-effect can be used. Various commands within i-effect are used to store objects in this storage system and to assign index terms to them at the same time.
Using the ARCPDF command
The command is used to store any PDF file in an archive system. The user can read any character strings from the PDF file and use them as index terms for this document. Depending on the archiving system used, these index terms are either transferred to the interface of the archiving system together with the document, or stored within i-effect for later retrieval of the archived documents. Text information in the PDF file to be processed can be found either by specifying specific position information (X/Y coordinates), or by reading out key terms. Index terms that do not originate from the PDF file, but must be transferred process-specifically, can also be specified.
Parameters and their meaning
The command has the following parameters
Parameter „IFS path to PDF file“ (PDFFILE) | The PDFFILE (IFS path to PDF file) parameter sepcifies the qualified name of the PDF file to be processed. |
This is a required parameter.
Parameter Target format (TOFMT): | The TOFMT (Target format) parameter specifies the archiving system to be used. | |||
The following special value is available: | ||||
*INFOSTORE | InfoStore from SOLITAS will be used an the archiving system. | |||
This is a required parameter.
Parameter Object type (OBJTYPE) | The OBJTYPE (Object-Type) parameter specifies the type of object, under which the object is stored in the InfoStore system. These object types can be maintained using the command WRKOBTD within InfoStore. | ||
Possible values are: | The object type is PDF. This is the default extension for PDF files. | ||
| *AUTO | If the extension of the streamfile is not defined, it will be created automatically. | ||

This is a required parameter.
| Parameter Archive-ID (ARCID) | The ARCID (Archive ID) parameter specifies the name of the archive to be used for this process. |
| Parameter Repository (FILCAB) | The FILCAB (Repository) parameter names the repository into which the object will be archived. |
| Parameter Document class (DOCCLS) | The DOCCLS (Document class) parameter specifies the name of the document class, that this object will be allocated to. This object class will be used during the retrieval of objects. |
| Parameter Dokument type (DOCTYPE) | The DOCTYPE (Document type) parameter specifies the document type, that this object will be allocated to. |
| Parameter Access code (SECCOD) | The SECCOD (Access code) parameter specifies the name of the security code, that this object will be allocated to. The security code specifies the access rights for users of the archive. |
Other values (up to 100 entries)
Element 1: Page number.
The number of the page from which the text is to be extracted. i-effect extracts the text from the position on the page specified here and passes it to the archive system as an index term, but only for the page specified here. Alternatively, specify *ALL, and i-effect passes the value at the specified position for each page in the output file. If the output file consists of 5 pages, 5 index values are passed, namely one for each page.

| *NONE | No index values with index string position will be extracted. |
| 1 | The page number from which the text should be extracted. i-effect will extract the text from the position on the page specified below and will pass it as a parameter to the archive system, but only for the page specified here. |

Element 3: Character pos. o. x-coordinate.
Depending on the value for the measurement method, specify here either the column number where the parameter appears in the file (*ROWCOL), or the horizontal coordi-nate on the page where the beginning of the text appears (measured in millimeters for *MM,
centimeters for *CM, or inches for *INCH).
| *NONE | No index values with index string position will be extracted. |
| 1 | The page number from which the text should be extracted. i-effect will extract the text from the position on the page specified below and will pass it as a parameter to the archive system, but only for the page specified here. |
| 0.001-999.999 | Enter the column number or horizontal coordinate. |

| 0.001-999.999 | Specify the length of the area occupied by the desired text. |
Element 5: Höhe.
Depending on the value specified for the "Measurement method" below, enter either the number of characters which the parameter text occupies in the file (*ROWCOL) or the vertical space it occupies on the page (measured in millimeters for *MM, centimeters for
*CM or inches for *INCH).
| 1 | The default setting is 1. |

Element 7: Index name
The name of the index to be transferred to the archive system together with the extracted data. Under these index names the data can be searched later in the archive system. The INDEXKEY (index parameter by key) parameter allows the specification of key strings that i-effect uses as a hint for the text to be extracted from the file that is passed as a parameter to the archive system.
| *NONE | No index terms with key strings are read from the file. |
Other values (up to 50)
| Element 1: Page number. | The number of the page from which the text is to be extracted. i-effect extracts the text from the position on the page specified here and passes it to the archive system as an index term, but only for the page specified here.
