Viewing a document or job retrieved from a repository

After you search a repository that has PDF or AFP job data files stored in it, you can open the job or documents in the RICOH ProcessDirector viewer to make sure that the correct file has been found or to view information in the file. You cannot view jobs or documents if the repository contains only properties or history information.

To view a document or job within a repository:

  1. In the Archive tab, search for a document or job stored in a repository.
  2. Select an entry in the Results table that contains a document or job and click View file.
    The file opens in a dialog.
  3. Use the Viewer controls to move through the file, including the search function.
    If you search for document properties and the wrong page opens, the file might have been stored in the repository after one or more steps that changed the order of pages in the job. The document properties are mapped to the order that the pages were in when the IdentifyDocuments, IdentifyPDFDocuments, BuildAFPFromDocuments or BuildPDFFromDocuments step ran. If later steps changed the page order, that information was not updated in the repository.
  4. Optional: Click the Submit file button to send the job or document you are viewing to a workflow.
  5. Optional: Select an entry in the Results table and click Save to file. The selected file is saved to your workstation.
