- **PDF Conversion** - Convert various file formats to PDF
- **Document Distribution** - Store documents in Dropbox, Nextcloud, or Paperless NGX
### Paperless-ngx Integration
If Paperless-ngx is configured, DocuElevate can automatically upload processed documents and set custom fields with extracted metadata:
1. **Automatic Upload**: After processing, documents are automatically uploaded to Paperless-ngx
2. **Custom Fields**: If configured via `PAPERLESS_CUSTOM_FIELD_ABSENDER`, the sender ("absender") information extracted by AI will be automatically set as a custom field in Paperless
3. **Setup Requirements**:
- Create a custom field in Paperless-ngx (e.g., named "Absender" or "Sender")
- Set the `PAPERLESS_CUSTOM_FIELD_ABSENDER` environment variable to match your custom field name
- Ensure the custom field exists in Paperless before processing documents
**Note**: The custom field feature requires that the field is already created in your Paperless-ngx instance. DocuElevate will look up the field by name and set its value automatically.
