The SOFTPDF folder is in fact there so that they can view Invoice copies from within the transaction drill down in the Receivables or Invoices module. If you have installed the upgrades to AR 9.3A and IN 9.3A, you should be running the Maintenance>Process SOFTPDF to DocStore function periodically to copy the historical PDF's from before the DocStore upgrade was installed to the DocStorage folder. Do not move files manually. The process copies them to the appropriate places and updates the program links.

I would not recommend deleting any PDF's out of the SoftPDF folder for now. It is there for legacy purposes for modules that have not been upgraded with the DocStore functionality yet.

I highly recommend contacting your Adagio consultant before making any changes to those directories. Especially since, you may be running other modules than what I've mentioned here which could impact the SOFTPDF folder such as Purchase Orders.

If 7 gb of data is causing you concern for storage purposes, you should consider upgrading your hard drives.



Hi Dan,

Thanks for the information about the Process SOFTPDF function, That will be a great benefit. Let me reiterate, 7Gb is not a storage problem me at all, it's just a file problem as windows tends to not respond well to >70,000 files in a single folder without organization. I'm glad it's a legacy thing. We are fully up to date on all our modules so everything that can be integrated with DocStore, is. I will look into running that maintenance assuming it won't duplicate data.
Thank you,
