PDF Converter Professional and Enterprise 8.0 Eval Guide - Nuance

ADVANCED FILE STORAGE
By default, file saving and opening allows free browsing over the local computer and any network
file storage systems that are accessible. PDF Converter Enterprise 8 provides advanced file
storage options that allow a user to configure a more restricted environment.
The Advanced File Storage option allows a single folder structure to be specified for private
documents and another folder structure to be configured as the shared documents directory.
Configuring a preferred file folder structure can be useful in environments that have a very large
folder structure to select files from and the user would only need to access a subset of those
folders. Also, if there were files that are private and should never be opened in PDF Converter
Professional, those directories can be excluded and a different folder structure can be defined to
browse through.
To enable the File Storage option:
1. Launch PDF Converter Professional.
2. Click “Edit > Preferences”.
3. Navigate to the “File Storage” tab.
4. Enable the “Use File Storage as default file Open/Save dialogs (Requires restart)” option.
Note: A restart of PDF Converter Professional is necessary, not the computer.
5. Specify a folder to use for the Private Documents Directory and another for the Shared
Documents Directory.
6. Optionally, enable the “Browse to windows file system” option to allow the user to navigate to
folders outside of the specified private and shared documents directories.
7. Click “OK” to apply the changes.
8. Restart PDF Converter Professional for the changes to take effect.
When the File Storage feature is enabled, the user can only browse to the two specified folders to
open or save files (including any sub folders in the specified top level folders).
