STOP THIS!!!
The number you are referring to, the REVISION number, IS NOT THE DATE. It is the number of revisions done to a specific OFFICIAL STATE document before the document is issued.
I have sat back and watched this thread devolve and am really, REALLY upset that NO ONE bothered to check the revision history on this document before flinging these accusations around and sending a person who was only trying to help into a frenzy. Making her jump through hoops because NO ONE understood this was NOT a Date????
Vendome, you are a doc expert. You, of all people, should have realized this was not a date stamp.
HERE is how its done, and yes, many of you owe Danae an apology!

If the company hires a new agency to handle its travel arrangements, the new agency might require that the company’s employees use a different travel expense form. The revisioning feature of the Desktop allows a user to copy the existing form, make changes to it, and then replace the existing form with the new form, all without disturbing anyone that might be using the existing form. At a high level, the process works like this:
From the Desktop, the user highlights the existing travel expense form and selects the Revise command. DB2 Document Manager makes a copy of the document and gives it a unique ID. For example, the work-in-progress document might have the following attributes: an item ID of 234567890, a version number of 1, and a state of Draft.
The user changes the form as many times as necessary, typically checking it in to the library and out of the library several times as the document moves through the editing and approval stages of its life cycle. The document might have the following attributes by the time the user is done making changes: an item ID of 234567890, a version number of 11, and a state of Ready for Issue.
On the date that the new travel agency starts its contract with the company, the work-in-progress document is transitioned to the Issued state. DB2 Document Manager can automatically transition the existing travel expense form to the Superseded state, and restrict the security on it to prevent employees from using it.
PLEASE!!!
I’m getting quite upset as well. I’ve been watching all of this in disbelief. I’m not intelligent enough on the inner workings of all this scanning and EXIF (???) to know what the heck they are talking about, but the accusations are quite alarming and horrifying.
I have no idea who is right or who is wrong, but this is all really terrible if you ask me.
Danae, if I were you, I would be on the phone THIS MORNING and insisting that they FAX you a letter, signed and dated, corroborating what you are saying here. I would be outraged as hell if you are on the up and up and would do everything to dispel this “liar” accusation. On the other hand, I am no expert...but some others here are...and their explanations hold weight.
This needs to be resolved. This is just horrible.

I noticed the abbreviation “REV” in the subject evidence and wondered to myself whether this meant what my first impression was of it... A REVISION!!!
Jesus H. Christ!!! (apologies to my fellow Christian freepers.)
What's the old saw? ASSUME, IS TO MAKE AN ASS OUT OF YOU AND ME.
Free Republic posters, in one respect, are no better than the scurrilous posters at the most reviled websites known to man, who are, by and large, philosophically opposed to Free Republic's values.
In other words... POUND SAND!!!
Mesta, THANK YOU!
Rarely in my life have I been so unfairly attacked. I really am floored. I now wish I had not bothered to help Polarik at all. I have not gone through the rest of this thread, so I do not know if he has given me the apology he owes me, but I hope he steps up to the plate.
I know nothing about documents, imaging, photography the science of scanning. I am a housewife going to college raising kids.
Thank you for stepping up and defending me! I greatly appreciate it!
Danae
That reads like an extract from a user manual or something.
Did you turn up information somewhere that the Hawaii Department of Health uses IBM DB2 Document Manager? This price list from an Illinois software vendor does imply that at least some parts of the state government use it. Did you come across more direct information, or are you just guessing?
