# Configuring ABBYY FlexiCapture

> Prepare an ABBYY FlexiCapture project for the Pega connector: open or create the project and upload it to the FlexiCapture Application Server or Cloud.

In FC, documents are processed within projects. FC will identify the type of each document and apply the appropriate Document Definition that has been prepared specifically for that type. Each Document Definition includes one or more export profiles to be used for exporting document images and data. To set up the export of data from FC, you will need to create a new script export profile in your FC project.

Before Configuring FC, please make sure that you have the following software installed:

* ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Project Setup Station (required if you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed Edition or ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud).

If you already have an FC project for which you need to set up data export to Pega, open that project. Otherwise, you will need to create a project. Launch the Project Setup Station and in the **Open Project** dialog box click:

* **Create New\...** to create a new project.
* **Browse...** to open an existing project stored on your local drive.
* **Browse from Server...** to a open a project that you earlier uploaded to the FC Application Server.

Next, you need to upload the project on to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server:

1. Click **File → Upload Project to Server...**.
2. In the **Upload Project to Application Server** dialog box specify the address of the server, the protocol to be used, and your credentials.
3. If you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud, complete the **URL** field, specifying one of the following three FlexiCapture Cloud instances (you should specify the instance that your company is registered in):
   * *[https://europe.flexicapture.com](https://europe.flexicapture.com)*
   * *[https://australia.flexicapture.com](https://australia.flexicapture.com)*
   * *[https://usa.flexicapture.com](https://usa.flexicapture.com)*
4. In the **Tenant name** field specify the name of your company, select the **Use server authentication** option, and enter your credentials.
5. Click **Test Connection** to check that you have entered the correct data.
6. Click **OK** to upload project to the Application Server.

<Note>
  When uploading a project to the cloud or when opening a project from the cloud, the following error may occur: "Application server version is not compatible." If you see this error, the version of your Project Setup Station does not match the version of the cloud-based Application Server. To obtain a compatible version of FC, please contact the ABBYY sales office servicing your region (see [https://www.abbyy.com/contacts](https://www.abbyy.com/contacts)).
</Note>

7. When you see the "Operation completed" message, click **Close**. In the next dialog box, click **Yes** to open the uploaded project from the server.

Next, you need to [configure ABBYY FlexiCapture as an unattended service](/flexi-capture/connectors/pega/pega-fc-unattended) and [create an export profile](/flexi-capture/connectors/pega/pega-export-profile-2).
