FAQ

Which document formats does Scribe support?

Scribe supports the following document formats:

  • Adobe Acrobat PDF format
  • Plain text format (not supported by Scribe's "ScribeDoc" functions
  • Microsoft Word (2007 or later) .docx format
  • Microsoft Excel (2007 or later) .xlsx format
  • XML for certain functions (ScribeDocReadValue, ScribeDocWriteValue)

Does Scribe support EXIF data?

Yes.

Troubleshooting

No occurrences of [placeholder string] were found in the document

If a string is modified in a document Word will sometimes break the string apart to store it internally. This causes an issue with the ScribeDocSubstitute function as the strings do not match.

To solve this issue:

  • Highlight the entire placeholder occurrence. Be sure to make sure that any "space" characters are picked up as well.
  • Retype the entire placeholder at one time (special characters included)
  • Repeat for each placeholder that is not found

This should replace the split string in the document with one complete string that can be found and replaced by Scribe.
