Question

Converting jpg to tiff options

Workflow SDK

Updated March 7, 2022

asked on March 3, 2022

We have a workflow that takes .jpgs and moves them to the repository for filing in our student cumulative folders. This is a workflow process because Teams is dropping a very large number of attachment uploads to be filed nightly. We assign the metadata and they file in the students folders.

Our issue is that when anyone goes to review these documents it is automatically downloaded to their local PC. This is a document security issue because you can't preview the .jpg in the web client. By recommendation of our VAR we checked the user settings for the account that drops the files from our workflow server but those are set correctly. It looks like those settings are for when you manually drag and drop those documents into LF Repository. Anything that is done with a workflow is keeping the file as a .jpg.

We are using version 10.4.

Does anyone have a work around for this?

@████████ - Import Agent or Quick Fields will both ingest the files and generate pages for you. You can also use the Document Importer - see this post:

There's also the option of using the desktop client. It technically downloads the file locally, but once it's closed, the local temp file is deleted - but I know, they may still be able to do things to save it locally.

I know you said you're using 10.4, but if upgrading to 11 is a possibility, it should resolve your problem without any conversion needed. From the Laserfiche 11 release notes:

"We have also made it easier to preview images when browsing the repository. You can choose to view the contents of a folder or set of search results as icons. This will display images stored in the repository, such as jpg, bitmap, and png images as thumbnails, and will also display the first page of TIFF imaged documents directly in the folder browser, making it easier to quickly locate the document you want. Folder views are set on a per-folder basis."
