signotec signoFileGrabber

The signotec signoFileGrabber is a simple tool for monitoring a folder.

The tool enables the use of the signoSign/2 software in environments where PDF documents are to be generated externally and processed (automatically) without using the PDF printer.

As soon as a PDF file is stored in the monitored directory, the FileGrabber moves the PDF file to a temporary directory and starts the PDF file with signoSign/2 so that it can be processed and signed. The signed file can be automatically saved in a definable directory and the temporary file deleted via the configuration of the document types.

Configuration

The signotec signoFileGrabber is configured using the 'FileGrabber.exe.config' file. The following values can be set in the configuration file. The value is always written in quotation marks after "value=".

IncomingFolder

The IncomingFolder (line 27) refers to the folder that is monitored by the FileGrabber.

Example:

XML

<add key="IncomingFolder" value="C:\FOLDER" />

oder

XML

<add key="IncomingFolder" value="\\127.0.0.1\FOLDER" />

UserName and Password

If the "IncomingFolder" is a directory that requires separate access data, the corresponding access data can be stored in the values "UserName" (line 29) and "Password" (line 31). The password is encrypted the first time the FileGrabber is started.

Example:

XML

<add key="UserName" value="USERNAME@DOMAIN" />
<add key="Password" value="PASSWORD" />

TempFolder

The "TempFolder" (line 43) is the directory where the PDF file is (temporarily) stored for opening with signoSign/2.

Example:

XML

<add key="TempFolder" value="%AllUSERSPROFILE%\signotec\FileGrabber" />

StartProgram

The "StartProgram" (line 41) must refer to the signoSign/2.exe.

Default storage location:
32-Bit = C:\Program Files (x86)\signotec\signoSign2\signoSign2.exe
64-Bit = C:\Program Files\signotec\signoSign2\signoSign2.exe

Example:

CODE

<add key="StartProgram" value="C:\Program Files\signotec\signoSign2\signoSign2.exe" />

LogLevel

In the event of an error, logging can be activated to support signotec in troubleshooting. The "LogLevel" (line 36) describes the level of detail of the log

0 = No Log
1 = ErrorLog
2 = Error & Debug Log

Example:

XML

<add key="LogLevel" value="1" />

LogFolder

The log file is written to the "LogFolder" (line 39).

Example:

XML

<add key="LogFolder" value="%AllUSERSPROFILE%\signotec\FileGrabber\Log" />

Tray Icon

The signotec signoFileGrabber can be placed in the autostart folder so that it starts automatically when the computer is started. The active signoFileGrabber is displayed with an icon in the Windows tray icon area.

A left click on the icon opens the information about the application.

A right click opens a dialogue to close the application.
