How to get information about a file from XML

Consider an XML file that contains data about the books with their titles and publishers. This file also contains the Base64-encoded image of some book and the reference to the annotation of another book.

You may want to send the image and the annotation to a folder.

Design a workflow with AutoCapture, XML Importer and Send to Folder components.
On the Fields tab of the XML Importer configuration, add the search field FilePath with corresponding XPath query: *//Annotation.
On the Files tab, add the following items:
- FileName = Image.jpg, Content Type = Base64, File Content = *//Image
- Content Type = File Path, File Content = ~XIM::%FilePath%~
Configure other components in the workflow.
Run the process.
Send the XML file to the process by AutoCapture client.

The following two files will be sent to the desired folder:

Image.jpg — The image that was read from the XML file's node.
annot1.txt — The annotation file found by the specified path that was retrieved from the XML file's node.
