How to Crop Two Locations Using Quick Fields (or any other LF product)

Quick Fields Workflow SDK

Hi all,

A customer currently has a workflow, that uses VB.Net to crop a photo and signature box from an application, to form to new documents. The process works.

When applications are made via Forms, cropping isn't required of course.

What I'd like to know is, is there an easy way to complete this task by using just native Laserfiche tools. I'd like to remove the script.

I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but the SDK includes the same imaging library that Web Access uses to resize and crop images. The documentation is in LaserficheImaging102.chm, and I think I included some basic sample code in the Advanced Applied SDK class I taught a few years ago.

Thanks Brian, I'll look into that. I'd rather switch to an LF SDK from the current third party; if the only solution is to use an SDK.

Are you creating one document that's just the image of the signature, and another that's just the photo? Seems like you could do this using the Quick Fields crop process, but you'd need to run the same original document through Quick Fields multiple times if you expect to create multiple documents out of a single page.

Hi Tessa,

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. So looks like Brian's suggestion is the best so far but I'm still interested in any other ideas.

If I were to do this in QF, I think the only way would be to have session 1 crop out the photo and, instead of deleting the source document, then copy it to a new folder. Then a second session reads from the new folder and and crops out the signature. Or use WF or QF scripting to copy page 1 to page 2 and have QF run a different crop process on each page and then split the pages.

What did you have in mind?

Yeah, that's what I had in mind too. So I agree, using the SDK is probably more straightforward in this case, unless you were already running these documents through QF Agent for some other reason.
