Is there any way to generate pages for a PDF using a workflow action? I know it can currently be done via import agent, but we need it to work on user uploaded files in a workflow.

Workflow (for on-premise) has an activity for Schedule PDF Page Generation.

You will need to install Laserfiche Distributed Computing Cluster (DCC).

Workflow will schedule the activity with the DCC.

Self-hosted Workflow is not supported for use with Laserfiche Cloud.

We use Cloud. So it can't be done. Such as big product gap imo.

Hi Brett,

You could create a web API on an Azure or AWS hosted server to generate PDFs for you. @Miruna is there someone on the horizon from LF? I have good/bad experience with writing something just as LF release the functionality themselves!

Alternatively, you could try this service. I found them in a google search so have no idea if they're any good or not.

Hey Brett,
I know this isn't a direct solution (as there isn't one).. but I've got a bunch of documents that were imported without the 'Generate Pages' option selected to speed up the import process, so looking to do the same thing.

I've got a simple search for PDF documents inside a folder

{LF:templateid=0} & {LF:Ext="pdf"}

I then sort by Pages, highlight a few(one searchpage view), click the 3 dots(More Actions), Advanced, Generate Pages

Then let that tab/window do it's thing for a while and then select another batch. Will also do the Advanced 'Generate Searchable Text' as well.

I currently have 6000+ to sort through, so this will take some time, as it's rather resource/time intensive. Workflow use would be amazing!!
