8.5 Combine documents

Especially if no scanner is connected directly to the ArchivistaBox, it can happen that not all pages can be captured in one process when scanning with an external device. This results in several documents, which can nevertheless be managed as one document later using 'Combine documents'.

Image tip : Documents can only be merged as long as they have not yet been archived. It is also necessary that all parts are either in black/white, grayscale or color.

To merge two (or more) files, proceed as follows:

Activate the 'Edit' tab.
Select the documents you want to merge. The docuemnt that remains after the process is the active file.
Select the sub-item Combine documents under Choose action.
Click Ok above the tab and confirm the control prompt.

Image tip : Only multiple scanned documents should be merged, not documents containing office, video or audio files. If the latter are merged, only the original docuemnt (source file) of the first document will be preserved, since a docuemnt can contain only one source file. The source files of the other documents are deleted when merging multiple documents.
