When importing a PDF file through KIC (Kofax Import Connector) a "cannot recognize file format" error is thrown. What is the cause of this error?

Answer / Solution:

Here is the entire error message.

A possible cause of this error is that the PDF file being imported is an Adobe LifeCycle format file. This "form" type of PDF file is not supported by KIC. Please see the KIC Installation Guide for more information.
