Application scenarios

Files from the source folder that do not belong to the project are not copied.

Missing document entries in the structure data (xml/convert.xml) are automatically added during merging. This is not possible for the view data, as they refer to the original view in Notes.

The following conditions must be met for an existing n2pdf archive project to be recognized as such.

•The subfolders “output” & “xml” must exist in the project folder. In addition, the file “convert.xml” must exist in the subfolder “xml”

•There must be no relevant content (*.pdf, *.pdf.lnk) in any folder other than “output”

Multiple n2pdf archive projects

Suppose you want to combine several existing n2pdf archive projects. In this case, all structure data (xml/convert.xml) and view data (design/design.xml, design/view_*.xml) are copied. This means that in the standard view of ‘n2pdf Search & View’ you will see all entries as well as all previously existing entries in the view mode.

n2pdf archive projects with folders containing PDF structures

Suppose you want to combine one or more existing n2pdf archive projects with one or more folders (which contain PDF structures). In this case, all structure data (xml/convert.xml) and view data (design/design.xml, design/view_*.xml) are copied when the n2pdf archive projects are merged. The structure data are generated for the PDF folders. The result is an n2pdf archive project. The entire content for this project is displayed in the standard view of ‘n2pdf Search & View’. The view mode displays the content defined using the existing view data from the n2pdf archive projects.

Folders containing PDF structures

Suppose you want to combine several folders containing PDF structures or just convert one folder into an n2pdf archive project.

In this case, the structure data for all documents is generated when the documents are combined or converted. There are no view data in the resulting project.  The entire content for this project is displayed in the standard view of ‘n2pdf Search & View’ (the view mode is irrelevant here).
