asked on September 18, 2015

I have requests from my organizations weblinks customers to have an easy keyword search and to be able to imbed urls in the weblinks documents and also be able to search documents across the Repository.  A way that I have found to accomplish this is to Import PDF files that have been OCR’ed in  Adobe.  I check the Import Options Box “Generate Seachable Text”,  “Generate Laserfiche Pages”, and “Keep Original PDF Files”.  This imports the file and it has a red and white PDF icon by the file in Laserfiche.  In my the weblinks installation, it defaults to “View Document Options, The Associated Application”.   When users click on one of these weblinks documents, they  can perform  a CTRL-F keyword search, click on a url in the document  and go to another website and when finished, click to return to weblinks.  They can also perform Repository searches from within weblinks that return data from TIFF and these hybrid PDF files.  This seems to work well for these users that have meeting packets and need to be able to look up City Code quickly.  Here is my question,  “What are the issues with using this type of format?”.    We are using Laserfiche 9.1 to import the PDF files.
