We have a customer who has been importing documents as PDF's into Laserfiche Cloud for a few years now and would like to delete the PDF portion of the documents, while still keeping the TIF pages that were auto-generated upon import. The only way I can see to do this in Cloud would be via a Workflow that looped through all existing documents that have both PDF and TIF pages and for each it found, it:
- Created a new, empty document
- Copied the metadata from the original PDF/TIF document to the new document
- Copied the pages from the original PDF/TIF document to the new document
- Deleted the original PDF/TIF document
While this would work, it is technically creating a brand new document and thus all the history (creation date, audit logs, ...) associated with the original document would be lost since those cannot be transferred to the new document.
It would be nice if Workflow just had an activity of "Remove Electronic Document" just like they have one to "Attach Electronic Document". Does anyone know an automated way in Laserfiche Cloud to mass remove the electronic file from a document without generating a new document?
