So far the concept for the data entry screen has been discussed in part 1 (Developing a file metadata system -Part 1).
Which the concept looks easy - the inter-working and execution of the process is where a big difference can be made.
1. Lack of experience is a killer.
Here is how it went down.
I decided to execute the project as follow:
using a shared set of folder i placed my document ( about 1000 documents at a time) over the network.
using .NET system i read the pdf documents and displayed then using the web browser. Here I found that a lot of work is saved just having pdf being displayed in the browser, additionally, adobe acrobat 10.0 reader was releases, and it gave the application a most welcomed appeal, when large document was loading.
Regular pdf readers did not display a download progression bar, however, adobe was right on target with this.
Figure 2.0 show the effect of downloading a file over the network using adobe acrobat 10.0

Figure 2.1 Show how the end user perceive the application when a file is being loaded. The Network here refers to both (Local Internal Network) and the public Internet.
In part 3 of the blog I will discuss the application layout and meta data in details.
Notice that the document will be loaded on the left side, the user will then extract the data from the document by read. The meta data will be used in the future to do search - they are like like tags and keywords for performing search.
You may ask - why do this, Please remember that these are not pdf document that can be made optically recognizable. They are just images made into multiple page pdfs.
