The Aloaha Workflow Engine is a powerfull part of the Aloaha PDF Suite. It allows the user to define own workflows without the need/requirement of any programming. The user just needs to define the workflow itself in an .ini file.
Every automation/OLE compatible COM Function can be used as a function block!
The Aloaha PDF Suite Engine monitors the key WorkFlowIni in HKLM\Software\Aloaha\PDF and as soon it finds a file containing pointers to the user workflow it will execute them.
The format of the file is pretty easy. First it needs to contain a general section with a workflow counter:
[General]
WorkFlowCount=2
Then it needs to contain the Workflows section pointing to the several workflow definition files:
[Workflows]
0=C:\data\PDFWorkflow.ini
1=C:\data\ApprovalFlow.ini
