Operating System Requirements for Kofax Capture

To release Adobe PDF documents, your Kofax Capture Administration and Release workstations

must be running on Windows XP or Windows 2000 computers. Windows 95, Windows 98,

Windows ME, and Windows NT are not supported operating systems for Kofax Capture.

Adobe Acrobat Capture and the Kofax Capture Release Workstation Installations

During the conversion process, communication must occur between Adobe Acrobat Capture and

the Kofax Capture Release module. However, due to timing conflicts, Adobe Acrobat Capture and

Kofax Capture cannot be run at the same time on a workstation. Therefore, Adobe Acrobat

Capture and Kofax Capture must be installed on separate workstations on the same LAN.

Releasing Adobe PDF Documents

To release in Adobe PDF format, you must install the appropriate Adobe Acrobat Capture

software. In addition, the release working directory must be available to the Kofax Capture

workstation where you are setting up the release script and the Adobe Acrobat Capture

workstation. One way to do this is to specify a UNC path for the Release directory. This can also

be done with a mapped drive, the drive letter and path must be the same on all workstations. If

you specify a local Release working directory, please note the following:

„

A folder with that name will be created on the Kofax Capture workstation, but it will not

be used.

„

The same path must already exist on the Adobe Acrobat Capture workstation.

„

Adobe PDF images will be placed in the folder on the Adobe Acrobat Capture workstation.
