Zetadocs Server Installation

 

 

The Zetadocs Server monitors network folders setup for document queues and converts documents added to those

folders into PDF/A format before uploading those files to the Zetadocs Document Queues library in SharePoint Online.

 

Note: If you are also installing a Zetadocs Capture Plus system using OCR and Barcode processing, you also need to download and install the Zetadocs OCR Engine used by the Zetadocs Server for processing barcodes and creating searchable PDF files.

 

To install the Zetadocs Server:.

 

  1. Log on to the PC or Server that will run the Zetadocs Server with the service account that you will use to run the Zetadocs Document Converter Service.

 Note: This is an important step as the Zetadocs Server Configuration Tool will use the user account's profile to store the SharePoint                credentials. Credentials are profile specific and will not be accessible by the service account unless created within the service account profile.

  1. Download the latest version of the Zetadocs Server from the Software Updates page, and run the setup file.
  2. Click Next and choose a destination folder for the installation and then Next.
  3. Continue with the installation and when it completes the Zetadocs Server Configuration Tool will open.

Licensing the Zetadocs OCR Engine

Note: This step requires the Zetadocs OCR Engine license sent with your Zetadocs Capture Plus license certificate.

 

If you are installing the Zetadocs Server on an Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine (VM) then follow the steps in Zetadocs OCR Engine Cloud Licensing below, otherwise follow Zetadocs OCR Engine Licensing.

 

Zetadocs OCR Engine Licensing (non-virtualized servers)
