Loading RICOH ProcessDirector document properties

To use RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat to define text in a PDF file as a RICOH ProcessDirector document property, you must import the list of RICOH ProcessDirector document properties.
You must do this task:
  • After you install RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
  • After changes are made to property definition files, you have run the docCustom utility, and you have installed or upgraded the Custom Document Properties feature.
  1. Close Adobe Acrobat Professional.
  2. Retrieve the definitions.zip file from this directory on the RICOH ProcessDirector server that processes your PDF files:
    • Unix-based systems, /aiw/aiw1/share
    • Windows, C:\aiw\aiw1\share
    This file is generated when you install one of the document processing features and is updated when you run the docCustom utility and install or upgrade the Custom Document Properties feature.
    The definitions.zip file is downloaded when you download the plug-in installer from the Administration tab. After you make any changes to your custom document properties, you must manually download the definitions.zip file.
  3. On the system where you installed RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat, place the definitions.zip file in the <user_home_directory\AppData>\Roaming\InfoPrint\InfoPrintPlugin\ directory.

    For <user_home_directory\AppData>, substitute the name of the home directory application data directory for the current user.

      Note:
    • You can view the application data directory location for the current user by typing %appdata% in the Windows Run command line and clicking OK.

  4. Restart Adobe Acrobat Professional and click Ricoh ⇒ Select to activate RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat. The list of RICOH ProcessDirector document properties in the definitions.zip file is automatically imported into the areas of the plug-in that use document properties.
The definitions.zip file contains document properties and limited document properties. Limited document properties are not saved to a database, but they are stored in the document properties file that contains the property. For more information about both types of properties, see the topics related to document properties in the information center, for example see the topic on editing the sample document properties template.
