About Bursting Connector

The Bursting connector allows users the opportunity to break up (burst apart) document batches. It uses bar codes to identify and split up customer documents with the ability to send documents to multiple locations. No routing sheets are required to use the Bursting connector. In addition, the Bursting connector uses RuleSets to direct document delivery and can only be used with PDF files.

Note: The Bursting connector requires the Data Extractor license.
