Merge attachments in Forms

Forms
Updated April 5, 2016
asked on March 30, 2016 • Show version history

If a Form captures additional files via attachments, when the form is stored in the repository, is it possible to attach all the attachments to the Form and make it 1 TIFF file please?

 

Thanks

I would save the attachments to a folder and name them whatever you wish but include the Form instance ID.  You would have to ensure that the attachments are already tiff or write some custom code that generates pages for you.

Your workflow would run a search for all documents with that Instance ID in the name.  Then you could create an empty document and do a For Each on all the documents found and Move Pages into the created empty document.

Is it possible to store the attachments as TIFF in the repository instead of retaining their original format please? That way, it is easier to merge.

Hi there,

There's no Workflow activities available to convert any file type to TIFF.

Thanks. Is it possible to store the attachments as TIFF from the Forms process itself please?

No. Forms directly pass the document to Repository.

Is it possible for Forms to generate pages automatically when the attachments are saved in the repository please?

Hi there,

At this time, it's not possible to generate the pages automatically.

We use the SDK in combination with Import Agent and Workflow to convert uploaded files to TIFFs. (It can accept PDF, TIFF, JPG, BMP, PNG, possibly others).

It's definitely not a pretty solution though. Would love to see a workflow activity from Laserfiche that handles it as all we're doing is feeding the files to Import Agent.
