Overview
The standard Document Search panel has been extended to support new features, including:
Toggle Description: a Description, if present, can be displayed. OCR'd documents populate the Description be default.
Description may also be toggled by double-clicking on the white space of a document row
Zip and Download: select multiple documents, zip them, and download the zip file. This does not create a new Attachment.
Zip and Save: same as Zip and Download, but creates a new Attachment
Zip and Email: same as Zip and Save, including a password to protected the zip file with, and a prompt for email addresses to email the zip file to
Convert to PDF: convert selected document(s) (such as TIFF images) to PDF
Merge to Single PDF: merges selected documents into a single PDF file
OCR: OCR the text of a document, saving the text to the Description field. This operation is queued, as it is typically long-running.
If there is no description present, the Descirption field (if visible) offers an OCR button
