Hi All,

I want to extract file in bulk from lotus notes document to my sharepoint application or save it to my local machine.

There were different file format (viz; excel,pdf,doc) present and saved it under categories and sub categories.

I dont have Admin/Designer rights , i am a normal user which can see and read the documents from back end .

Please suggest me how to do it. Thanks…

Dhiraj,

If you can’t write any code then unfortunately use manual approach , find document using URL , e.g;

http://server/db/view/docid/$File/Filename?OpenElement

and save document on your disk.

Thanks Rishi, for your response , but it is difficult for a normal user to identify view , server name and all.http://server/db/view/docid/$File/Filename?OpenElement in this link u have mention doc id and this would be definitely for each document and can you please clear $file and filename

Bulk operations require you write code. Since you don’t have the designer client, talk to your designers and see if they can whip up a bit of code for you to use; the code you need has been posted in this forum more than once so it shouldn’t take them much time.

Dhiraj,

Do you need to extract only file attachments from your database, or Notes documents (containers) including their content and attachments?

You may want to consider a 3rd party tool that lets you export Notes documents with attachments into PDF archives:

This tool adds a PDF icon into your Notes toolbar, so you can normally select multiple documents from a view and then export the selected documents with their attachments.

Take a look at these screencasts:
