Enhanced Support for the PDF File Format

by Canto

All Cumulus systems offer native support for the PDF format that includes:

• Cataloging of PDF files.
• Extract some or all of a PDF file's text to searchable metadata.
• Printing collections (thumbnails) to PDF, even without Acrobat installed.

The two products options featured below provide support in addition to the capabilities listed above:

PDF AssetStore

• Create automatic category structures based on PDF keywords.
• Automatic extraction of PDF-embedded images.
• Online previews of multipage PDF documents.

If you need to have the various pages of a PDF file cataloged individually, the PDF AssetStore is for you. Using it, each page of a PDF file becomes its own asset record, complete with its own metadata. This enables users to easily find individual pages, which is a huge benefit when your PDF files are large. If you need information on page 376, you can get at it without having to download 375 other pages too.

Using the PDF Page Merger asset processor that comes with all Cumulus 7.5 servers, you can even assemble new PDF files based on the pages contained in those you've cataloged using the PDF AssetStore.

The PDF AssetStore module enables you to turn cataloged PDF files into individual asset records, each complete with its own set of metadata fields. Those individual records can then be saved out as a brand new PDF in any combination you need. Here, a PDF file is shown in the top pane and all Contained Pages are shown below.

2PDF AssetProcessor
Converting cataloged files to PDF on the fly is what the 2PDF AssetProcessor is all about. This enables you to catalog master documents into your Cumulus system without having to also store PDF versions too. So long as the creating software and Acrobat are installed on your Cumulus Server, Cumulus can generate PDFs on the fly.

• Centrally convert files to PDF on-the-fly from anywhere.
• Individually choose PDF job options stored on the server.
