You can quickly and easily split (or Burst) multiple pages of an image-based document (such as a PDF) to create a new record. Using the Thumbnails Pane in the Document Viewer, you can view and select specific pages in the document for bursting. With permissions, you can choose to delete the burst pages automatically from the original record or retain them. Note that Annotations are not included when you burst a document.

Possible Document Loss

The option to delete the selected thumbnails when bursting is a destructive action. If you’ve chosen to enable the Delete Page checkbox, saving the document will result in a permanent change to the source document. If Delete Page was not enabled, the page or pages that were burst remain in the source document file. When in doubt, it would be safer to burst and delete in two separate steps.

The Bursting option is only available from thumbnail viewer.

  1. To view thumbnails of the open multi-page document, on the Document Viewer toolbar, click Toggle Thumbnails.

  2. Click a thumbnail to select the page to be burst (or use  Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple thumbnails).

  3. Right-click the thumbnails of the pages to burst and click Burst command from the context menu.

  4. If there are unsaved changes in the source document, you will be notified. Click OK to continue with the Burst and lose changes or click Cancel to cancel the Burst, so changes you may save your changes before bursting pages.

  5. In the Select Destination Archive dialog that appears:

    1. Select an Archive to burst the document to. (You must have Move permissions to the destination Archive.)



    2. To select a Sub-archive, click the folder icon to the right of the intended destination’s parent and navigate through the tree view until you can select the Sub-archive. You can navigate back to the parent Archive using the Up (arrow) icon to the left.



    3. Leave Delete Page unchecked (the default) to copy or enable Delete Page to remove selected pages from the source document.

  6. In the v5 Index Documents at Import interface, enter data in the Index Fields for the new document being created in the specified destination.

  7. Click Save to complete the burst operation and return to the original document.
