This article describes the connection settings on the Document Reader Setup page in detail — as a reference for later changes, not just for the initial setup.
Field reference
|
Field |
Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Enabled |
Boolean |
Turns the whole app on or off. See Enable and disable. |
|
Function URL |
Text[250] |
HTTPS endpoint provided to you by Ventoo. Must exactly match the URL you were given. |
|
Function Key |
Text[250], masked |
Never displayed once saved — shown as dots only. Entering a value overwrites the previous key; leaving the field blank when saving keeps the existing key unchanged. |
|
Function Key Configured |
Boolean, read-only |
Indicates whether a key is currently stored — regardless of its content. |
|
Timeout (ms) |
Integer |
Wait time for the Azure Function's response. Range |
Rotate the function key
When Ventoo issues you a new function key (e.g. after a security rotation):
-
Open the Document Reader Setup page.
-
Enter the new key in the Function Key field.
-
Leave the field – the new key is immediately stored encrypted and replaces the previous one.
Note: There's no undo mechanism. Keep the old key at hand in case you need to switch back on short notice.
Adjust the timeout
Increase the timeout if large or multi-page PDF documents regularly cause timeouts. Reduce it if a calling extension needs to respond quickly and a "no match" is preferable to a long wait.
|
Timeout |
Behavior |
|---|---|
|
|
Very short wait time – suitable for a stable, fast network connection. |
|
|
Balanced value for most environments. |
|
|
Maximum tolerance, e.g. for large PDF files or slow connections. |
