Naming conventions for DigiPath objects
1
DigiPath uses file name extensions (an extension is the part of a 
file name appearing after the period [or dot]) to help identify 
objects. The default extension for objects created in Document 
Scan and Makeready is RDO. 
NOTE:  To ensure that DigiPath objects are managed correctly 
in Document Library, Document Library Lite, and the DigiPath 
database, it is strongly recommended that you always use the 
RDO extension when creating objects in Document Scan and 
Makeready.
DigiPath supports the use of long file names, up to 254 
characters, consisting of symbols, letters, and numbers. Some 
character restrictions apply to all objects created and stored in 
DigiPath. Table 1-6 lists characters that are not recognized in an 
object name.
NOTE:  DigiPath reserves two characters for database 
identification.
Leading and trailing spaces are ignored and removed from a file 
name, and trailing periods (.) are also removed.

names
