If you would like to capture documents and/or other files that you have local access to, you may use these features to import those documents or files into Content Central. Single files can be uploaded using the Capture frame, and multiple files can be uploaded using the Drag & Drop Upload applet in the Catalog Browser.
Using the Capture Frame
Files can be individually uploaded using the Electronic Capture Type in the Capture frame. The following sections describe the various Coding Methods available when uploading documents.
NOTE:
When uploading an existing PDF document, you will be presented with three upload options before the document is committed to the catalog.
Capture file in original form: The document will be left as-is and committed to the catalog with the document properties supplied. If the document does not already contain OCR text for full-text searching, the only information that will be searchable will be the document properties.
Convert to a fully-searchable PDF: The document will be converted to a new PDF containing document properties and OCR for full-text searches.
Make fully-searchable, but leave file in original form: Images will be processed for OCR text, but the file will remain in its original format. The OCR and document properties will be stored only in the Content Central database.
The document may be viewed in the area below these options by selecting the View Document link. After choosing an upload option, select the 
button to complete the upload process.

icon in the left frame. Next, select a folder to upload one or more documents into. The following sections describe how to upload documents and other content inside the Catalog Browser.
Using the Context Menu or File Menu

Files can be queued for upload in two ways. Selecting the 
button will provide you with a browse dialog used to choose one or more files you have local access to.
Select the appropriate Document Type from the drop-down list.
You can also drag folders and files from your computer desktop or a system file explorer and drop them into the area labeled Drop Files Here.
Use the 
button to remove one or more files from the queue.
After queuing one or more files or folders, select the button to upload the files to the Content Central server. Select the 
button to cancel the upload.

One or more folders or files can be dragged from your computer desktop or system file explorer and dropped into the area of the Results Frame labeled Drop files here to upload.
The upload process will begin immediately after files have been dropped into the designated area. Select the
