Converting Documents to PDF
Contents
Converting individual documents to a PDF file makes it easy to review a native file, make adjustments if needed, and process (or re-process) to PDF. Once printed, users can review the PDF file and choose to either save or discard it. Saving the PDF file will commit the file to LAW by either replacing an existing PDF file or by inserting the PDF file, depending on whether or not PDF file previously existed for that record.
This feature provides a simple method of opening and printing otherwise unsupported file types, provided the native application is installed on the machine. This feature is also useful when reviewing and re-processing "problem" supported file types.
PDF files created during the single-document PDF conversion are created as searchable, web-optimized PDF files that you can perform OCR on, print, and endorse. The easyPDF SDK 7 print driver is now included with the LAW installation for PDF conversions. Like TIFF files created during the TIFF/PDF Conversion process, PDF files generated during the conversion are also saved to the <case root>\$Image Archive folder.

When you are doing single-document PDF conversion, the time zones that are associated with image files do not automatically adjust to match the time zones of the native files. In such circumstances, if you need dates to match between the native files and image files, you can manually change the time zone on your system prior to printing to match the time zone of the native files. |
