primedocs Connect can be processed on both the client and server side.
Client-side processing
File extensions
Two file extensions are already linked to the primedocs client in Windows:
File extension | Description |
|---|---|
.pdcx | Contains primedocs Connect-compliant XML and is executed directly by primedocs (without prompting). Unless otherwise defined in the XML, the file is deleted after the document is created. |
.pdck | Same as .pdcx, but the k stands for keep. The primedocs Connect file is not deleted after processing. |
If you create a primedocs Connect file and name it with the file extension .pdcx or .pdck, this file is automatically linked to primedocs and can be started normally via Windows.
Call via console
It is also possible to call primedocs via the console:
.\primedocs.exe /connect "<path to xml file>"Alternatively, the call via the /URI parameter also works::
.\primedocs.exe /uri "primedocs:connect=<path to xml file>&keepConnect=true"IMPORTANT
primedocs automatically deletes the connect file after processing. If the additional argument /keepConnect is passed, this behavior can be suppressed. If called via shell, the file extension “.pdck” must be used.
TemplatePicker
The TemplatePicker is displayed if:
no template element has been specified
or the TagFilter would produce several templates and
AllowTemplatePicker="true"has been defined.
Server-side processing
primedocs Connect can be used on the server side via the Web API: Connect API
