I have created an entrytemplate to enter a pdf-document in FileNet. This being an alternative for scanning and then entering in FileNet. It now turns out that the users have the old habit of scanning more than one pdf as a single document, which results in a single document in FileNet combining more than one pdf-documents. They can enter more than one pdf document using my entry-template, but this results in more than one documents in FileNet. Is there a trick to select in an entrytemplate more that one document, but combine them into one before really entering in FileNet? Any ideas?

Hi Jan
as you are working with entry templates, I assume that the IBM Content Navigator is used as the front end.
In ICN you can only add one content element with the standard widgets. With the viewer you can display multiple content elements (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/content-navigator/3.0.x?topic=desktops-configuring-multi-content-documents).

Inside the ICN you should have a look at the merge and split function for already stored documents (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/content-navigator/3.0.x?topic=desktops-configuring-merge-split).

If you want to file documents via the ICN with multiple Content Elements or merge multiple PDFs into one file before storing, you need to implement a custom PluginAction with associated PluginService.
