saving individual PDF files to a DMS after creating a batch PDF

OL Connect Professional Workflow
1

My process in Workflow 8 attempts to create a PDF as a single batch file into a network location. No problems there. Now the end user wants to import the PDF into their document management system and it can only accept and index individual PDF files. Can I use Retrieve Items to solve this problem with Connect?

There are several ways to achieve what you are looking for. One way is to use PlanetPress Workflow “DataSplitter” tool.

There are several options to set the document boundaries of the PDF.

Thanks JP but that doesnt work. There’s no way to select text reliably on this PDF, it moves around too much. Is there a way to retrieve the content, and process it one by one?

Lou,

You can retrieve the individual contents but only if you’ve marked them through the Set Properties task. So you should do that immediately after your content creation step. Then, after you retrieve the contents, you can use a metadata sequencer task in order to loop through each individual item to produce the PDF files.
