Application Integration

  • The simplest method of integration is for your application to launch Scan To PDF passing the PDF filename and path as a switch. For example, in C# this would be achieved with the following code:

    //contractId will have been assigned by your application
    string pdfPath=@"//docserver/pdfarchive/contracts/" + contractId + ".pdf";
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psInfo =new
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
    psInfo.FileName=@"C:\Program Files\O Imaging Corporation\ScanToPDF\scantopdf.exe";
    psInfo.Arguments="/autoscan /pdfpath=" + pdfPath + "/terminateaftersave";
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psInfo);

    And here's some example code for scanning a supplier invoice document to PDF from within an Access Database application:

    Dim pdfpath As Variant
    Dim pdfname As Variant
    Dim progpath As Variant
    Dim progswitches As Variant
    Dim x%

    pdfname = "SI123456" '//set by your application
    pdfpath = "//server/works order pdfs/" & pdfname & ".pdf"
    progpath = "C:\Program Files\O Imaging Corporation\ScanToPDF\scantopdf.exe"
    progswitches = " /autoscan /terminateaftersave /pdfpath=""" & pdfpath & """"
    x% = Shell(progpath & progswitches, vbNormalFocus)

  • Scan to PDF can be integrated with your application software via a number of methods. These methods include:
     
    • Active X dll
    • COM Objects
    • .NET Assemblies
    • SQL script database updates
    • XML file write/read

  • Integration enables Scan To PDF to automatically attach a PDF to a record in your database. For example a supplier's invoice to the bought ledger record, a CV to a candidates record, a POD to a despatch record, etc.
