The Document Profile Selector is used to configure document profiles and then select them easily and quickly from a drop down list prior to scanning. Using the document profile selector it is possible to build solutions for scanning many different types of documents with different profiles for each.

This option shows or hides the document profile selector drop-down list box on the main user interface of ScanToPDF.

Trigger, action script and global action script are Advanced Options.

Please do not change these settings without advice from OiC support staff.

Use the list box to select which document profile to perform actions on (using the action buttons)

The list order is the order they appear to the user when the document profile selector list is displayed.

Create a new document profile. A dialog box opens to enable entry of a document profile name.

Copy the selected existing document profile to a new document profile.

Rename the selected existing document profile to a new document profile name.

Delete the selected document profile.

Use the up and down arrows to move the selected document profile up or down the list of profiles.

Click the button to sort the document profile list in alphabetical order.

Once the document profile has been added and multiple profiles have been created the profiles can be selected and used both at setup time and run time.

The instructions below explain both. 

The settings for ANY plugin can be 

Global - the settings for the plugin apply to ALL profiles
Specific - the settings for the plugin apply to the selected profile only
Off - the settings are not required for the selected profile

The required option is set using the Slider at the foot of each plugin, as shown below

It can be left at Global (meaning the plugin settings apply to all profiles)


Or clicked to set to Specific, which then shows the Profile selector list



and then the on/off option changed as required



The required settings can then be configured as required.

Prior to capturing images, simply use the profile selection list which appears below the Scan/Import button to select the required document profile, as shown below



The last selected profile will always be the default when ScanToPDF is closed and re-opened.
