has the name FormName and the value conference.ps4. A PDI file uses the following entries:
Name: Value:
~SearchDBName
The name you defined in PlanetPress for the database record for the document. This is the name of the rec-
ord PlanetPress Search creates for this document in any search database it builds that contains the doc-
ument. If you did not define a name for the database record, PlanetPress Image sets this entry to the value
of the
~FormName
entry. This is the name you see in the Document box when you set up a search.
~FormName
The name of the converted document (in your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool Documents folder) that Plan-
etPress Image executed to generate this PDI and its associated PDF.
PlanetPress Search uses the value of this entry to determine which of the PDF files in a PlanetPress Image
archive folder were generated from the same document. If you did not define a name for the database rec-
ord for this document (see the
~SearchDBName
description), it also uses this value as the name of the record it
creates for this document in any search database it builds that contains the document. For example, consider
two PDI files, report1.pdi and report2.pdi. Neither of these documents had a name defined for their data-
base record during document design in PlanetPress. Both of their FormName entries have the value
report.ps4. In this case, PlanetPress Search would create a database record called report and include the
information from both PDI files in that record.
~ArchiveFile
The name, minus the file name extension, of this PDI file (and its corresponding PDF file). You set this name
in your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool when you configure the PlanetPress Image output task.
~ArchiveMethod
The type of file (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) generated by PlanetPress Image. Note that although PlanetPress Image
can generate image files of type TIFF and JPEG, you cannot use PlanetPress Search to search an archive of
these image files. Consult the PlanetPress Workflow Tool User Guide for further help understanding this fea-
ture of PlanetPress Image.
~Time
The time that PlanetPress Image created this PDI file, expressed as hours:minutes:seconds.
~Date
The day that PlanetPress Image created this PDI file, expressed as year/month/day.
~IndexName:<field
length>
The name of an index term used in the PDF file. You specify this name when you create the index term in
PlanetPress. PlanetPress Image makes a list of the names of all index terms used in the PDF, and places
them in the first part of the PDI file. The field length is either the length of the data selection you created in
PlanetPress, or the default field size you set in PlanetPress Search, whichever is greater.
~FieldName
<values>
The name of an index term, followed by a list of the values this term takes on, on a given page of the PDF
file.
~Page
The page number of the PDF file that contains all the FieldName entries above it and below the preceding
page number.
Sample PDI File
The following is a sample PDI file, in native format, created when PlanetPress Image executed the document hr_work-
sheet.ps4 on October 30, 2003, at 1:58 PM. The name of the PDI file is hr_worksheet.pdi and the PDF file it indexes is
hr_worksheet.pdf. The document defined three index terms: name, department, and years. The PDF file contains three
pages.
