Uploading a Digital Catalog
To upload a digital catalog, navigate to the Documents tab within the desired Manufacturer.
Click on Publish Digital Catalogs to begin.
Clicking on Choose a PDF file in the resulting window will allow you to browse for your desired file.
Once selected, the catalog will appear, and you will be presented with the next steps.
Using OCR to automatically tag items
1. Click on the OCR icon to have the system automatically match possible items found in the PDF file.
The OCR button will only tag items for the Manufacturer you're uploading this file under. Additional Manufacturer's items may be manually selected.
Items that have been successfully tagged via OCR will be highlighted:
