Almost all of our applications allow you to configure the output path and filename using variables. For example, information from the document (text, barcode, QR code) can be extracted and used via these variables. However, an output file that exceeds the maximum path length may not be processed. MS Windows allows you to use a registry key to extend the default path length from 260 characters to up to 32,767 characters. Important: Individual path components (such as a single folder or file name) must still be no longer than 255 characters.
