docCustomDefinitions.properties file
docCustomDefinitions.properties
) defines user interface information for custom document properties. The entries in
the docCustomDefinitions.properties
file correspond to the docProperty elements in the docCustomDefinitions.xml
file.- Note:
- If you change the
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file or anydocCustomDefinitions_language.properties
files after installing the feature:- Run the
docCustom
utility and install or upgrade the Custom Document Properties feature. - For PDF document processing features, load the document properties to RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat. For more information, see RICOH ProcessDirector: Installing Document Processing Features.
- For AFP document processing features, access RICOH Visual Workbench from the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface. New document properties are loaded to RICOH Visual Workbench when it opens on your workstation.
- Run the
The entries in the docCustomDefinitions.properties
file are used in the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface when you select custom document properties from lists, or when you
view field help for a custom document property. A sample file is in the /samples directory
on the feature CD, and the installation process places a sample file in /aiw/aiw1/samples/config
on Linux, and in C:\aiw\aiw1\samples\config
on Windows.
Create a separate docCustomDefinitions_language.properties
file for each additional language that you want to support, using a language identifier
in each file name. For example:
- docCustomDefinitions_de.properties (German)
- docCustomDefinitions_en.properties (English)
- docCustomDefinitions_es.properties (Spanish)
- docCustomDefinitions_fr.properties (French)
- docCustomDefinitions_it.properties (Italian)
- docCustomDefinitions_ja.properties (Japanese)
- docCustomDefinitions_pt.properties (Brazilian Portuguese)
You create a stanza of caption and description values for every document property.
[property]
- The full property name.
[property].Description
- A description of the property. Use HTML tags if you want to format the text. This content appears in the field help when the user clicks the ? button.
For example:
Doc.Custom.Zip=ZIP code Doc.Custom.Zip.Description=The ZIP code of an address
- Note:
- Do not rename the default
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file; a file with this name must exist in your configuration directory (/aiw/aiw1/config
). Copy the file and name the copy with the appropriate language identifier as needed. - The
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file and anydocCustomDefinitions_language.properties
files must use the ISO-8859-1 character encoding (code page). If you create yourdocCustomDefinitions.properties
files in a different format (such as Shift JIS or UTF-8), you must convert the file to ISO-8859-1 when placing it in the/aiw/aiw1/config
directory.
