General Options
 

Default Image Scale

There are two options for viewing your images. 1:1 (one-to-one) views the image in it's actual size.  If it is larger than your screen, you'll have scrollbars for each direction that is over the size of your DocAdmin 2008 window.  The Best Fit option will shrink or enlarge your picture to fit either the width or height of your DocAdmin 2008 window, depending on which one displays the image better.

Autonaming

Autonaming will create your PDF documents with one of three date/time stamp options, or you may select None to have DocAdmin 2008 prompt you for the filename. Each naming convention has the following letters:

yyyy - year

mm - month

dd - day

hh - hours

mm - minutes

ss - seconds

Autonaming - Append contact name

 If Autonaming is being used, you may optionally append the name of your contact to your autonamed document.

Prompt for filename when using 1-click Scanning

 If using 1-click scanning, you will not have the option to give your file a custom name unless this option is checked.  Otherwise it will use a standard date/time stamp for the filename.

Append Contact Name

 This option will place the current contact's name at the end of the data/timestamp on the autonamed file.

Fit document to page

 This option will enlarge small images to fit the page size that you are printing to.

Document Folder

 This path setting sets the default location to where scanned images are saved.  By default scanned documents will ALSO be copied to the ACT! database files folder for documents.

Delete Document from above folder after attaching to ACT!

 This option will remove the scanned document from the working folder as set above once the file is attached and saved into the ACT! documents folder.
