Need to search for Pages containing text and take the User right to that page not the doc
Three things to keep in mind:
1. Make sure your user Options settings are set so that double clicking to open a documents opens the pages instead of the electronic document. You can set it from Tools>Options>View>Open With and set electronic documents and PDF files to "The Laserfiche Document Viewer".
2. You need to generate pages for pdf or snapshot electronic document and then generate searchable text over them. This can be done by right clicking on the document and selected each option in the respective order.
Edit: 3. Justin Pava made a good point below that I missed.
You should be able to land on a page of the text you are searching for.
Hope this was helpful.
Is this the same for LF 8.3 ?
You need to generate pages for pdf or snapshot electronic document and then generate searchable text over them. This can be done by right clicking on the document and selected each option in the respective order.
I do not see this
This can be done by right clicking on the document and selected each option in the respective order.
Yes. It is the same in LF 8.3. I have attached the options.
Other alternative is to select the document. On toolbar go to Tasks and you should see the Generate Pages... and Generate Searchable Text...
generate text is working but Generate Pages is grayed out. Looks like the Docs are being stored as Tiff's
Yes. Tiff format is the standard used by Laserfiche. Tiff documents will automatically open with in Laserfiche Document Viewer. Generate pages function or snapshot function is to create tiff images(pages) from a PDF or electronic document so that you can have the ability to OCR and search through the document's text.
If you already have OCR'd tiff images, this should be very straightforward. Basically, 1) make sure context hits are displayed in your search results. This are the lines of the specific word in a sentence that show up in the Client search UI when you run a search. If they do not show up, there is an option in tools\options\search to display them. 2) When they show up, simply doubleclick on a context hit instead of the document itself - this will take you directly to the page.
thanks Justin
Where's the setting for this
"make sure context hits are displayed in your search results." in LF8.3 Screen shot if you can pls.
Also what to make an advanced search that returns all the pages with the words
(invoice & 1234 - cheque)
So any pages with the word invoice on them, Invoice number, but not the word cheque
Got it working thanks.
How do I set a folder so that all Docs in it will get Ocr'ed for Text?
This is not a setting you can have. Instead, you need to have all users able to save to that folder to have the OCR option enabled on file import or to generate searchable text on those documents.
If you wish to automate this, then you have two options:
-Quick Fields with Quick Fields Agent is the best way to handle generating tiff pages and OCRing a document.
- A workflow using Distributed Processing to generate searchable text for those documents with pages (or a text stream if they are PDFs without pages generated). Distributed Processing is not yet a launched product so it is not advisable to use this solution yet.
We use the SDK to Import Documents.
will setting the importer.OcrImages = true; cause Searchable text to be generated
importer.Document.SetTemplate("");
importer.Document.SetFieldValues(fc);
importer.OcrPageFailedEvent += OcrPageFailedEvent;
importer.ImportImages(@imagepath);
importer.OcrImages = true;
importer.Document.Save();
There isn't a direct way to 'mark' this on the folder, as OCR is a client side operation and isn't something you can tell the Server to automatically do. However, with the upcoming release of Distributed Processing (currently slated near the end of the month), you'll be able to schedule OCR processes in Workflow 9.1. You could set up OCR automation that way.
Thanks Justin
