DOCINFO not set during scan processing

Post by matthiasG »

Using the following sequence: scan, document properties, save

In the properties I set the Author field, but when I use the %[DocInfo:Author] in the save tool it is always empty.
In the saved file the Author is correctly included.

Looks like a bug.

Greetings,
Matthias

Hello Matthias,

Do you mean that this field does not get populated for you?

As it seems to be working for me.

If I have misunderstood the issue, can you please add some screenshots illustrating it?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I made the tool myself using scan, doc properties, save.
The doc properties show up and I enter say "myself" as Author.
In the following save I set the filename to say "D%[DocInfo:Author]_%[AutoNumber]" and exspect a filename "Dmyself_0.pdf", but instead the file is saved as "D_0.pdf"

btw: is there a way to upload pictures or the pdtex file?

Greetings,
Matthias

You can upload such a files when you enclose them in a ZIP, RAR or 7-Zip file.
