Convert PDF to TIFF via workflow

How To

Updated July 28, 2017

asked on July 28, 2017

Once the document/PDF has been imported and Laserfiche pages have been generated we have no need for the Electronic Files and instead of just moving them is it possible to have workflow delete the data altogether instead of manually going to tasks and deleting it?

Alternatively, you can use the Delete Entry tool in Workflow, and have it delete the original pdf as well. This is useful for items that are imported as part of an Upload File field in Forms.

Joe,

Depending on what you are using to convert the PDF documents into TIFF pages (Import Agent, Quick Fields, etc.) you can do this without Workflow.

In the "Processing" settings there should be an option for "Keep original PDF files" and if you uncheck that box, it will automatically discard the PDF after the pages are generated.

The only way I know of to delete electronic attachments in Workflow is through SDK Script activities, but that shouldn't be necessary in your case.

This can also be set for individuals bringing in documents manually by going into Tools, Options, New Documents, Settings and unchecking the Keep original PDF files.

Thank you all for the feedback, I've been stuck in workflow for so long that I didn't think to look at it in a different way.
