Paperflow Export to ApplicationXtender

Getting Started

This procedure will require Paperflow R82, no earlier versions!


Setup Export

  1. Open Paperflow
  2. Select the job to setup Export Settings on.
  3. Click "Auto Process" tab, then "Wizard" button with a picture of a wand.
  4. Select "OTG Record Out" option.

  1. Choose the root path to export the record folder and images to.
  2. For Reported Root Path, put ".\".
    1. This will tell the system to start from the same folder the import file is in, then locate the image.
    2. Example: .\images\001.tiff would translate to c:\exports\OTGRecordOut\Batch1\images\001.tiff".
  3. Leave Delimiter as "|".
  4. Leave Max Export size.

Setup Fields

Make sure that...

  • The field order matches exactly as the Application on AppXtender.
  • The fields marked required in the application are being provided with data, otherwise the import will FAIL.


  1. Check the fields that should be included in the export to AX.
  2. Make sure that the fields are in the same order as the fields in the Application, otherwise the import will FAIL!

Additional Options

(Copied from the Paperflow User Guide).

  • Image Source Prefer Bitonal: This property is applicable to dual-stream scanners and determines
    whether to export bitonal or color images. When set to True, which is the default setting, bitonal
    images will be exported.

  • Create Record File Only: If set to True, a RECORD.TXT file will be created, but no images will be
    created during the export. 

  • Use Export Complete File: This property, set to True by default, generates an "export.complete"
    file once an export has reached its maximum file size, so data will no longer be appended to the
    export. When set to False, the "export.complete" file is not generated, so data may be appended to
    export folders that have not reached their maximum size. 

  • Delete Document After Export: This property specifies whether documents are deleted after they
    have been exported (set to False by default).

  • Disable Appending: This property is set to False by default. When set to True, exported images
    will not be appended to export folders whose maximum file sizes have not been reached.


  • Image Source: This property determines whether original images (pre-image processing) or
    modified images (post-image processing) are used for the export. The Pre-Image Processing option
    uses the original image that has not been modified by image processing, and the Post-Image
    Processing option uses the image that has been modified by image processing. The default
    selection, <None>, uses the most recent image prior to exporting.
