FineLine PC ImageLink provides a complete electronic document package by allowing you to easily associate up to 9,999 electronic documents with a single UNIX database record simply by executing a UNIX command, with no modification to the UNIX data required.  With ImageLink you can:

• SCAN single or multiple-page electronic documents from paper with a standard PC scanner and automatically "attach" them to the current UNIX database record
  
  
• FILE any existing UNIX or PC files under the UNIX database record (Word, Excel, PDF, CAD, digital photos, UNIX reports, etc.)
  
  
• BROWSE all documents associated with just a single UNIX record and add notes and a custom description to each document
  
  
• E-MAIL any combination of documents related to a record using your PC's e-mail program
  
  
• DISPLAY an image related to the current UNIX database record "live" in a fixed window controlled from UNIX as users move from record to record in the UNIX database (ex: product photos from inventory file)

Most importantly, rather then requiring an external Windows-based system for indexing (i.e. saving and finding documents), ImageLink enables you to use your own UNIX database as the index system!

How it works

By simply executing system commands from your UNIX database, you can quickly and easily add electronic document support to any PC accessing the UNIX system with a terminal emulator.  Since your UNIX software controls the naming of the "key" document for each record, associating it with a database record is easy.
