Can PDF-eXPLODE save archive files directly to Sharepoint or use a Sharepoint "folder" as a PDF-eMONITOR monitored folder for the purpose of exploding ?

ISSUE:

We currently are licensed and use PDF eXPLODE with PDF-eMONITOR to explode and email PDFs received directly from our accounting software into a specific network folder .  Can we have PDF-eMONITOR poll/monitor a Sharepoint folder as opposed to a network folder? Also can we use a Sharepoint folder path as a valid folder to save PDF-eXPLODE's exploded PDF?

 

 ANSWER:

You cannot use Sharepoint as a source to directly save files created through the exploding process in PDF-eXPLODE  However, there is a alternative method to save your files indirectly to a  SharePoint Document Library. Once this suggested setup is implemented, the process will be transparent and PDF-eXPLODE will send the files to Sharepoint instead of your Network Drive. Here is what you can do.

  1.  Open File Explorer.
  2.  Click on This PC.

  4.  Select Map Network Drive from the toolbar.
  5.  In the "Folder" field, enter the SharePoint URL to the document library (usually something like https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/library).
  6.  Follow the prompts to authenticate if needed. After mapping, this will show up as a network drive and will be accessible like a regular folder. Example Z:\ would represent the full path 
  7.  Now you can assign/save files to Z:\ 
  8.  Using PDF-eMONITOR - when setting up the INBOX monitoring folder, assign files to  (say) a path Z:\MONITOR
