Summary

By default, Save to Laserfiche will create a PDF image of each submitted form in the Laserfiche repository. Save to Repository service tasks also create PDF images of the specified form to the Laserfiche repository by default. If you would like Save to Laserfiche and Save to Repository service tasks to default to a different option, you can change this setting in the dbo.cf_options table in the Forms database.

Procedure

To change the default file format for Save to Laserfiche and Save to Repository service tasks

1. Connect to the Forms database in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
2. In the Object Explorer expand the server, then Databases, then expand the database used by the Forms Server.
3. Expand Tables. Right-click the dbo.cf_options table and select Edit Top 200 Rows.
4. In the optionname column, find the row that contains DefaultSaveToLFFormat. In the optionvalue column for this row, enter pdf, tiff, or noform.

   Note: The DefaultSaveToLFFormat row gets added to this table the first time a business process is created. If you do not see this row, create a business process in Laserfiche Forms and then try again.

   Note: If the optionvalue is set to noform, Save to Laserfiche will default to PDF as its default file format.

5. Save your changes.
