No-charge product enhancement features
These features are provided with the base product, but are not installed by default. They do not require an additional license.
- Common Properties
- The Common Properties feature adds a collection of job and document properties that are useful for transaction processing and tracking purposes. These job properties are not associated with specific step templates, but can be set in a workflow using the AssignJobValues step or the Manage job defaults action.
- Language packs
-
Language packs include translations for the user interface and help system. Each language pack includes the translated files for one language. Supported languages are:
- Brazilian Portuguese
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Spanish
- PDF Document Support
-
The PDF Document Support feature adds functions and objects that let you control and track individual documents in PDF jobs. The feature includes RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat. The plug-in lets you identify individual documents, extract data from the documents, and add enhancements such as barcodes, OMR marks, images, hidden areas, and text. Step templates let you add steps to your workflows that use the extracted data to sort, split, and group the documents into new jobs.
- Reports
-
The Reports feature lets you capture selected job properties and printer status changes in a PostgreSQL database. To extract data and visualize it, you can use a business intelligence tool, such as Tableau.
- Security
-
The Security feature provides advanced functions, including password requirements, that increase the security of user accounts. If you have a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Active Directory server, the feature lets you use LDAP user IDs and passwords to authenticate to RICOH ProcessDirector.
