Hot folders and Zip files
A hot folder can unzip a Zip file containing multiple PDFs or mixed
file formats.
To process multiple files as a single joined job: Submit the Zip
file to a hot folder associated with a workflow that has a Join task.
Files are joined in the order they were added to the Zip file.
Hot folders can process Zip files that contain all supported file
types.
Hot folders support the following Zip file formats:
• Microsoft Windows Compressed (zipped) files packaged with
Windows Server 2003
• WinZip 7.0 and 8.0 zipped files
Hot folders do not support:
• Folders inside a Zip file, except for .CON directories when a
matching .rdo is present. Folders inside the Zip file are
unzipped but are not submitted.
• Nested Zip files (a Zip file within a Zip file)
• Files for which, when unzipped, there is not enough room on
the drive. If problems occur, the file is moved to the error
folder.
