OnBase Client
Overview
The Virtual Print Driver (VPD) for OnBase appears as a standard printer in Windows Applications and enables users to electronically print documents directly into OnBase. The printer can prompt for an import dialog or save the documents into a network directory to be swept into a scan queue. VPD can eliminate the expensive practice of printing documents in order to scan them back into OnBase.
How to Install
The VPD is installed automatically with the OnBase 13.0 Client installation in the kbox. If OnBase 13 is already installed and you don't have the Hyland Virtual Printer in your list of available printers, you can reinstall OnBase from kbox and this will provide you with the Hyland Virtual Printer.
How to Use
When you are in a Windows application like Word or email, you can print your document into OnBase by:
- Open OnBase Client (standard Client or Unity) if it's not already open
- Go to your document and choose Print
- Select the printer called 'Hyland software virtual printer'
- The virtual print driver defaults to black-and-white. If you'd like to change it to color, make sure and go to the 'Properties' box and change your preference to color printing.
- Print the document
- You should get an Import Dialog box as shown above. This box will associate the proper keyword values with your document. Fill out this box fully and accurately
- Hit the Upload button to submit the document to OnBase
Silent Install Setup
To install the Virtual Print Driver silently on a new machine, Hyland Software, Inc. needs to be added as a trusted publisher. To set Hyland Software, Inc. as a trusted publisher, you must obtain the "VPDCertificate.cer" file from Hyland's Team M (as of Oct 2014). The "VPDCertificate.cer" for version 13 has been downloaded as of 10/2/2014 and is located in Swarchive.
