Overview of WP10UPD

In order for electronic correspondence to process properly, the PDFs generated by merging the forms must be approved by someone with the appropriate security. If you do not have access to PDF Batch Approval and should, please contact your organization's DDI system administrator or contact DDI Client Support for assistance.


To approve PDF batches:


  • From the DDI Connect main menu, double-click Merge Forms System
  • Double-click Administrative Tasks
  • Double-click PDF Batch Approval. You will see a screen similar to this one:

Click Approve. All selected batches will now change from "Pending" to Approved".


When you have approved the batches you wish to process, click Save to retain your changes.


To Split Batch Approval

If you wish to approve some forms in a batch, but not others, you will need to split the batch.


NOTE: You can only split batches by FORM CODE at this time. You cannot split by PIN, registration, etc.

From the PDF Generation Approval screen, select the batch that you wish to split, and click the Split button on the toolbar. You will see this popup screen:
