XML Indexer VS Generic Indexer for PDFs

(1/1)

lfbeach:
Up to this point we have always used generic indexing to load PDFs, Tiffs, etc.  We have a customer who wants to send the index information via XML.  I know that this is an option in CMOD, but i don't have an example of what the application will look to accomplish this.  Is anyone using XML indexing vs Generic Indexing for PDFs?  Can you share an example of an application.

lfbeach:
GXIFF to be exact - not XML

Justin Derrick:
I think there's some confusion -- you can add CMOD document metadata to XML files, and you can add PPDs to PDFs for CMOD metadata, but I don't think you can provide metadata in XML format to replace the Generic Index format.

See the presentation on XML:

Justin Derrick:
Ah, you're right - there's a generic index format in XML - it was added in 2021...

Yep, that's the documentation page I'm looking at.     Not sure if anybody is using this yet.   We want to give it a try and just looking for any tips on how to set up the application.   We can work our way thru it, if not.
