Export

Overview

In Dossier-Organizer, you can export documents as a single PDF file and download it or send it via email. For this, the system uses a dedicated controller and a worker component that handles the PDF generation.

Feature Details

  • Functionality: Export all documents in the current view or only selected documents as a single PDF file
  • Annotations: Optionally include annotations (comments, highlights, etc.) in the exported PDF
  • Redactions: Redact sensitive information (text, images, etc.) directly in the exported PDF
  • Size Limit: Configure a maximum size for the resulting PDF file. Exceeding this limit will cause the export to fail
  • Custom Filename: Optionally set a custom filename for the exported PDF.
  • Download Options: After export, you can open the file directly, copy a download link, or send it via email

Helm Configuration

The export is an optional feature and is turned off by default.

To enable it you must activate a couple of components and then configure the feature via Helm.

What you need to do:

  • Turn on the export feature itself and configure its options if needed
  • Enable the controller component
  • Enable the worker‑topdf component

Add the following block to your DO Helm values file (values.yaml):

organizer:
export:
enabled: true # Boolean – set to true to enable the export feature at startup
sizeLimit: 50 # Max allowed size of the resulting PDF in MB
ui:
showAnnotationCheckbox: true # Show checkbox to include annotations in the PDF
showFilenameField: true # Show text field to rename the resulting PDF
showOptionsInResultMessage: true # Show detailed options in the post‑export message

controller:
enabled: true # Controller manage export requests and must be enabled

worker-topdf:
enabled: true # Must be activated to perform the PDF export
