Cropping Images in Laserfiche 11 (Following PhotoDocs Deprecation)

asked on August 15, 2024

Hi All,

We have a client who scan lots of images (architectural/surveyance plans) into Laserfiche from a networked plotter. They currently use PhotoDocs to crop most of these images when they come into the repository, as they generally have a border around them from the plotter.

They're currently using Laserfiche Client 10.3 but we'd like to get them up to version 11 (as 10.3 is no longer supported), but in doing that they will lose PhotoDocs, and therefore the ability to crop documents in the Laserfiche repository.

As far as I'm aware there's no other way to crop images in Laserfiche? Is this something we could raise as a feature request for the Windows Client document viewer? Or is there another workaround for this?

Unfortunately due to some of the drawings being very old/faint they can't use any auto-crop options on the plotter as it often crops them incorrectly. The only other option is to drag the document outside of LF, open it in another app, then import the image again which isn't ideal.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Daniel,

I am not familiar with PhotoDocs. Is Laserfiche Scanning being used as replacement? Does 'Crop' processing in standard mode meet client's need?

Hi Ziyan,

They are scanning through a networked machine (over SMB rather than USB) so we're not using Laserfiche Scanning to capture the images. They come from Import Agent. The size of the document also changes each time.

Kind regards,
Dan
