Automate the processing of files that come to you from fax, e-mail, paper scanning or document production.

  1. Read the barcodes on the cover pages or on any inside page, in any orientation.
  2. Extract the data from the barcodes and assign it to your variables and then sort, separate, route and store the image files, in the target folder
  3. Barcode Director can transform any image format into PDF files.
  4. Poor quality images are automatically analyzed, and the appropriate repair scripts are applied to improve the barcode recognition rate .
  5. Best of all, the power of Barcode Director is made available through a simple, intuitive user interface leads you through the sequence of steps to set up the workflow .  Click on screenshots below to see the steps in more detail .

Profiles define how input documents are converted to output documents. There are three major profiles: rename, separate and sort. Each of them has sub-profiles that deal special requirements of user environment, e.g. use of secondary barcodes, deleting of cover/separator pages, handling exceptions, using barcode substring, etc.

Rename document based on cover page barcode value

This profile names the output document by examining the barcode value only on the FIRST page of the input file. Barcodes on all other pages are ignored. In all other respects the input file and the output file are identical.

Separate documents based on separator page barcode value

This profile extracts pages from input file starting with and including the page containing barcode, and all subsequent pages, till another page with a barcode, or the end of file is encountered. The net result is to split or separate the original file into a new set of coherent documents. There are typically two situations:

All pages of output documents are contain within a single input document file

Output document spans multiple input files. For example while faxing large document transmission is interrupted, then resumed from the next pages that is not faxed yet. If second document has no barcode, then in effect two input documents will be combined.

Sort documents based on each page barcode value

This profile expects each page to possess a barcode. It assembles the output document from those input pages whose barcodes have the same value. The input pages can come from one or more input files:

All pages of output documents are contain within a single input document file

Output document pages come from multiple input files.

Report barcode values

This profile create reports in XML, CSV or DAT formats with barcode values and properties. Unlike above profiles no output image documents are created. However values multiple barcode types, including large binary data from 2D barcodes, can be collected in a single session. Types, number and format of reports are matched to user's workflow requirements.

NOTE: Profiles that create image documents produce extensive reports as well. Reports document source and destination of all processed pages.
