  • Start Process From Scanned Document In Watch Folder or Email

    Looking for a way for a office person to scan a document into a watch folder or email a scanned document to LCES2.
    Then from that scanned document a process is started and the user in workspace has a routing slip (pdf) and the scanned document in view.
    I can see how to start the process with a email or watch folder but how do I get the scanned document in as a attachment to the process routing slip?
    Somewhat new to LC and not seeing any demo's on this. Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi Jasmin,
    I'm facing a problem with the watched folder files, they appear under the Attachment tab for the user, but with broken links, i.e. "The requested resource () is not available" error.
    what I did is simply create a new process with watched folder  start point, define a list-document variable as I/O and assign this variable to the user service?
    can you help

  • I am trying to scan document that I will then attach in an email.  When I attach it it shows up as a picture within the email instead of an attachment an people can't open it.  Any help here?

    I am trying to scan document that I will then attach in an email.  When I attach it it shows up as a picture within the email instead of an attachment an people can't open it.  Any help here?

    What kind of Mac are you using, and what version of the operating system?
    You should be able to select the document that you want to attach and then use the contextual menu (right click in some worlds) to compress the document, producing a .zip file. You can then attach that to the email and it won't appear as a picture within the email.
    If I recall this correctly, the "compress" part in the contextual menu may have a different terminology.

  • Scanned document saved and when I try to insert into an email actual doc is copied rather than an icon pointing to doc

    how do I save and insert into mail a scanned document?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You want to "attach" it not insert it. Save the document - note the name and location. From that location you can drag one or more files into the message wherever you want the attachments to appear. You can also click the Attach icon in the toolbar, or choose File > Attach Files.
    If a recipient is using Mail or another email application that retains the order of the contents of your message, the recipient sees the attachment in the same location where you inserted it.

  • How do you save a jepeg scanned file to email it?

    I scanned a document and the mac saved it as a jpeg file in photosmart utility (colorsync utility?).  I could not email it as an attachment,  and I could not save it as a different type of file.  I could not copy the file to paste it as a word document.  How do you save a jpeg scanned file to email it?

    I scanned the document on an hp injet printer and it was all automatically done by the laptop.  I didn't use image capture, that I know of.  I don't know what that is, or how to utilize it to scan the pages.  I scanned about 10 pages and they went into a folder called scanner output.  I was able to attach that to the email, but then the email could not be sent.  The email tries to send it, then after about 7-8 minutes I get a message that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed.
      Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered."

  • How do you attach a scan to the end of an e mail?  when I try it always sends the opened scan document as the e mail rather than as an attached file!

    I have a query.  When I try to send a scanned document as an attachment in mail the scanned document gets e mailed as an open document rather than as an attachment to the e mail.  Any suggestions?

    Some possible strategies for dealing with this include:
    * zip the file (control-click the file, and select "compress") and send the zipped file.
    The recipients email program should display this file as an attached file. But the recipient will have to unzip it at their end.
    * I've never tried it, but people say this can help: Attachment Tamer

  • Blank scanned document when emailed

    I have adobe reader Xl.  When I scan documents to my computer, I can view them as a pdf file.  When I email them to someone, the attachments are on the email but are blank on their end.  If they have an older version of adobe reader, is that causing the document to be blank.  I can I solve the problem. 

    Maybe the document was damaged during the email transmission?  Email is not a 100% safe method; sharing documents is better done using a file sharing service, such as Acrobat Workspaces, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

  • Attaching a scanned document to a pdf file

    how do I attach a scanned document into a pdf file that needs to be faxed                                       

    The ExportPDF service doesn't do anything like that.  Do you have Adobe Acrobat?

    Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension?  Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

  • How do I get my office jet 5742 to email scanned documents?

    How can I email scanned documents?  

    Hi,
    Please try:
    You need to enter a valid email address, and the printer will send a 4 digit validation code to that email address. When you enter the code into the panel, it will register the email and you will be able to scan documents to send to any or all of the addresses that are defined to the printer as valid. The scanned item can be a document or a photo. The documents are sent as PDF's. The scan is routed to HP's e-print center, then routed to the address you specified. I'm not sure about the privacy issues involved in this, but the capability to do this exists, and seems to work well, but you need to wait a few minutes for the document to appear in your email.

  • Do you also crash Preview  when opening scanned document pdf file?

    I recently crashed Mail when opening a message coming from my IAP with an attached pdf file. The cause is a crash of preview.app that I can repeat. Therefore the file (a scanned document) can be opened by Acrobat Reader. I found in some forum that AcrobatReader had a a similar problem a few months ago, now fixed. Do you know a work-around to force Mail not to use Preview? See below the report:

  • File names when saving scanned documents

    When I scan a document and then try and save the same, The scanned document is saved hiwever the name that I give to the scanned document gets truncated. I dont understand why,  I am using windows 7 

    That is a long File Name.
    Did you create this long file name system at the same time you started scanning these documents?
    You have .pdf and .ld together as the file extension in the image you provided. What is .ld?
    Can you go to the file name and rename it to add the other characters and it stays?
    If not, I don’t think it’s the HP software doing this. It is most likely Windows.
    The only thing I can think of is that Windows uses what’s called an 8.3 file naming convention. It is built into Windows and it shortens long file names for MS-DOS legacy applications. Every long file name has an alias that complies with the 8.3 file names for backward compatibility.
    Take a look at this article from Microsoft on truncating names. This will explain what is happening (hopefully).
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142982
    Also,
     Short file names may contain only the following characters:
    ·         Numbers (0,1-9)
    ·         Letters (A-Z, a-z)
    ·         Blank (blank spaces)
    ·         ASCII characters greater than 127
    ·         Special characters: $ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) ^ # &
    Long file names may contain only the following characters:
    All of the characters supported by short file names
    ·         Special characters:  + , ; = [ ]
    Length of the long file names are limited to 255 characters (260 for full paths = the file name and root of the folder) and short file names are limited to 8+3 or 11 characters (80 for full path names).
    You can disable the 8.3 convention in Windows but there may be problems with some applications not being able to find files and directories that have long file names.
    This Microsoft article explains how to disable 8.3 on NTFS partitions.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/121007
    You will need to be logged in as an Administrator on the account. IF this computer is at your employers, you will have to contact their IT support for further discussion.
    Go to Start and type CMD in the Search bar. Right click on CMD in the list and choose Run as Administrator.
    Type in the command prompt
    fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 1
    and press Enter.
    This operation takes effect immediately (no restart required).

  • If I attach a scanned document to a mail, it's impossible for the persons receiving my mail to open the file

    I'm a MacBook Pro user and scanning documents with an hp Officejet 7500A.
    If I send a mail with an attached file, SCANNED document, the person receiving my mail will be totaly unable to open it.
    If I send the very same mail, always with my Mac computer and attaching the very same scanned document but using my professional mailbox wich is NO MAC MAIL, things are working perfectly well.mail.
    Thanks for your help,
    Ph.

    Try right clicking the file on your desktop, and compressing it, then send it to the intended recepient. Of course you will want to advise them to extract the document from the *.zip file afterwards. A ZIP file is sort of like a briefcase for other data, you put it inside and send that fully intact for the other person to open. Good luck, let me know if it fails.
