We have used the system widely in our own migration practice and expect there will be few if any errors encountered. Macrosoft will respond to any errors encountered, and provide options for overcoming any of these errors. The basic functionality of the system allows for multiple concurrent Quadient developers to work simultaneously.Īs noted at the bottom of the flow chart, the system automatically logs any errors if any in loading the template designs into Quadient Inspire. PDF Morph is cloud-based, and new users can register and use the application on their own. The flow chart below gives the basics steps for engaging the system. This is the step where very significant savings in manual resources and time are achieved. The system is thus fully scalable, allowing Quadient developers to quickly convert a whole set of PDF’s into Inspire Designer. The Automation tool can be run on any number of PDF files, creating the same number of excel files and rendering all the equivalents in Inspire Designer. For image coordinates in Excel, the automation tool will create a container in Inspire Designer at these specific coordinates for a Quadient developer to input the image into Designer. At the same time, it will apply the font information extracted from the PDF for the controls in Inspire designer. The Automation tool will run and read the Excel file, reading row by row and rendering the equivalent flow area in Inspire Designer. An Excel file will be generated when the developers clicks ‘Extract Data’ from the marked PDF. The system is able to extract data from a single page PDF, multiple page PDF, and is able to support a multi-layout PDF too. The system then generates an Excel file from the marked PDF with data and coordinate information. When identified by the Quadient developers, the system will automatically extract image coordinates and extract Barcode information. Quadient developers can extract text field data including font information. The basic features of the application include the following. from the PDF, and create the corresponding information in Inspire Designer’s WFD. It helps our Quadient to extract Texts, Font, Barcodes, Image coordinates, etc. The data are extracted based on X, Y coordinates. You can extract data from any kind of PDF. PDF Morph is a cloud-based tool that assists users to mark and extract data from their PDF files and create the WFD in Inspire Designer. We are continuing to invest in development of the tool to further automate our Quadient work, thereby providing work outputs to our clients that is faster and allows for much higher throughput. We are continuing to add new features and functionality to the application and are planning a new release of the software in March 2021. Our Quadient developers have registered and self-configured the application and have started using it directly. We are currently using PDF Morph in our own Quadient migration and development support practices. In the next paper in this series, we provide estimates of the manual savings achievable with this application. It saves most of the manual work involved in such conversions and provides for much more accurate outputs. PDF Morph is an automation tool, intended to greatly accelerate the conversion of PDF templates (derived from other CCM tools in a migration project or based on the day-to-day development work of clients that are using Quadient) to Quadient Inspire. We also describe how it can be used effectively giving the basic process flow of the system. Here we lay out the basic features of the app, along with a brief view of the underlying technology stack. This is the second paper in the series describing Macrosoft’s new Quadient Migration tool, PDF Morph (v 1.0).
