All Cumulus systems offer native support for the PDF format that includes:
Cataloging of PDF files.
Create automatic category structures based on PDF keywords.
Extract some or all of a PDF file's text to searchable metadata.
Automatic extraction of PDF-embedded images.
Printing collections (thumbnails) to PDF, even without Acrobat installed.
Online previews of multipage PDF documents.
The Cumulus pluginns outlined below provide support in addition to the native capabilities of Cumulus listed above:
PDF AssetStore If you need to have the various pages of a PDF file cataloged individually, the PDF AssetStore is for you. Using it, each page of a PDF file becomes its own asset record, complete with its own metadata. This enables users to easily find individual pages, which is a huge benefit when your PDF files are large. If you need information on page 376, you can get at it without having to download 375 other pages too.
Using the PDF Page Merger asset processor that comes with all Cumulus 7.5 servers, you can even assemble new PDF files based on the pages contained in those you've cataloged using the PDF AssetStore.
The PDF AssetStore module enables you to turn cataloged PDF files into individual asset records, each complete with its own set of metadata fields. Those individual records can then be saved out as a brand new PDF in any combination you need.
