Archiving source documents securely

To avoid making inadvertent changes to the source document, it is recommended to turn Archiving on to maintain a backup of the source documents.

If Archiving is turned on, a copy of the file is created in a user specified archive location before any processing takes place. There is an option to retain the folder structure in the archive location.
