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
