Snapshot Resize Image and Page

asked on June 12, 2019

Is there any way to set Snapshot to change an image size when the page size is increased?  User can Snapshot from Adobe Acrobat and the image size on the page will increase.  Using Snapshot on a PDF in Laserfiche will keep the image the actual size.  Is there a way to generate pages for a PDF in Laserfiche and resize the image along with the page size?

 

Steps users is taking:

  1. Open PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and print using Snapshot
  2. Change Paper Size from 8.5” x 11” to 11” x 17”
  3. Set Page Size & Handling to “Fit”
  4. Image is saved using the larger page size and the image is larger and fills more of the page

 

  1. In Laserfiche Snapshot Configuration > Preferences > set Paper Size to Tabloid, 11 x 17”
  2. Select PDF file in Laserfiche client, Generate Pages
  3. Pages are generated, and the page size is 11 x 17 but the image remains the original size

Laserfiche has verified that Snapshot does not resize images.

 

Snapshot does not provide any settings to resize the image itself to fit the page. Snapshot simply acts as a virtual printer: it receives whatever image is generated from the application that requested the print job and "prints" it to Laserfiche, the same way a physical printer would print an image onto paper. When generating pages from the repository, the image is printed directly onto the page size that was specified in the Snapshot configuration, but no additional processing takes place.

 

The image resizing occurs on the Adobe side before the print job is passed to Snapshot (note the "Fit" option in the Adobe configuration window).

If this isn't something that can currently happen, it should in future versions.  Snapshot having a print to 'fit' would be pretty standard I would think.  Thanks for your time!
