Thank you so much! I changed the import settings for this profile in Windows Client and PDFs (both the form and attachments) had pages generated for them upon import.

Thank you for your help!

Excuse me for jumping in on this thread. I've done this for our repository profile user account that's used in the save to repository task, but when I import PDFs as attachments via Laserfiche Forms, it's not generating pages for the attachments. Is there some step I might be missing?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm running into the same issue where the repository profile user account is configured to generate pages on PDFs, but it doesn't happen with file uploads in forms.

Hi Jacob,

   Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, I've not yet gotten this to work. I assume that I'm checking the correct box as shown in the attached image and that this should work regardless of dragging a file directly into the Laserfiche repository or via a Laserfiche Forms upload.

You also need to set the New Documents PDF settings

Thanks Bert. That change now allows the creation of pages. However, when uploading as attachments through Forms it still leaves the PDF version, even though I've unchecked Keep original PDF files. Though when dragging the file directly into Laserfiche, it does remove the original PDF and only keeps the created TIFFs.

Same thing is happening for me, Michael. We decided to manually delete the leftover PDFs from the folder that Forms sends them to until we're confident it's generating pages 100% of the time, at which point we'll have a workflow do it.

Good Day! 

Kinda in a bind like most with school systems shut down and everyone working from home.  We need a way for people to upload forms in multiple formats, mainly pdf, and once delivered to repository it is .tif format.  We are Forms 10.4.1.164

I followed the instructions above and updated the WFProfile account to what you have above.

I can't get the conversion to work for pdf --> tif. 

Any assistance would be great!!

Thank you,

Sue

Hello Sue!

Have you figured out how to do this? I am having the same problem. 

Eric

When you configure the Forms Save to Repository task, you have to provide an account for forms to use to log into Laserfiche.  In the client, log into Laserfiche using the same account and then follow the above instructions to configure PDF conversion by setting the Generate Pages and the New Document settings.

Hey bert!

Will this also work for any uplaods that users are uploading via the form?

I am not saving a copy of the form so that is not a concern. 

Thank you for your help!

For the Uploads, I believe that Forms should be using the New Document settings, so yes it should to convert them.

Both the saved form and pdf uploads following the same settings as below:

But the sub settings won't be followed:

* keep original PDF files
* preserve PDF annotation on Laserfiche pages
* import monochrome images

Hello,

Was this feature removed in 10.4? We set this for the Forms user saving to the repository, but no pages are generated on save to repository. Please let me know.

Regards,

This feature is still supported in Forms 10.4, Forms is looking for the "[Settings]ImportPDFPages" attribute for the user used in the repository profile to decide whether to generate page or not, please double check the attribute value is "Yes" and also check whether you can generate pages for the pdf if you upload pdf files directly from Laserfiche client or Web client.
