Documents to be exported as PDFs must first be in an imaged format. For small sets of files (10 or less) right click in the Document List and choose Image document. For large sets send to a production draft and use the Prepare Production to create images of the documents.
On the Document List highlight the documents to be exported.
Choose Export Documents (Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut) from the Review menu:
The Export Documents pop-up box will appear:
Click on the Browse button (…) to select the destination of the files (if you are a private cloud customer export to the D:\DATA drive on the server). For monthly matters export to the XFER (or EFT) location.
Click on the drop down to choose the File Name Format of the export (ID is the recommended filename as this allows the exact file to be located in the database). Use SORTSEQ in the File Format Name for documents sorted in a particular order for which the sort needs to be maintained outside DWR.
For example, when the documents are sorted in date order in DWR, this option will keep them in date order on export by adding a sequence number into the name (00001-ID001234, 00002-ID001235)
Check the box in the Export section to choose Native and/or Image format for the exported files. Additional options include the produced slip sheets (placeholder), Metadata slipsheets which will contain fielded data such custodian, title and bates, or Associated text files.
Click Export. DWR will open the export location automatically when the export completes.
Included with the document export will be an index in Excel format containing all the currently visible Document List columns as well as Bates numbers and hyperlinks to the exported documents.
Important: Make sure to remove any Document List columns which should not be disclosed in the index file prior to exporting the documents.
