Access to Laserfiche 8.1 for Testing

Hello all,

 

I'm conducting a study on compression gains between Laserfiche Compression Tool for Laserfiche 8.1 (using LEADTools) and the compression of the Laserfiche libraries (9.1) for a customer. However, to do so I need a copy of LF 8.1 client but only 8.2 is available for download. 

 

For the record, I realise I could just download LEADTools and create my own utility based on those libraries but in case I select different compression options, my utility won't have any value.

 

Is there any way to get my hands on 8.1 for testing only purposes?

 

-Ben

I know this doesn't answer your question, but what compression activities are you researching?

Hi Kenny,

 

TIFF-LZH to TIFF-JPEG

 

I'm testing for storage size and reproduction.

 

The idea was show various gains when comparing previous compression (LEADTools) vs my compression utility (LF 9.1 libraries) vs PhotoDocs (9.1 libraries) in order to produce a proposal for a procedural guide.

I would love to hear your results! I'm the one that opened the case about the large images in 8.1 and worked with Laserfiche to construct the utility they published for compressing the images.

 

We still have issues with large images occasionally, but haven't had to the time to come up with a recommendations for avoiding them.

Hi Kenny,

 

I'm sure there were plenty of grateful folk!

 

The results were good. PhotoDocs performed a better compression than my utility but given both use the LF 9.1 image processing libraries, I'd like to think I could tweak my utility to a similar standard ;)

 

At any rate, I've attached a before and after (using PhotoDocs for after). I converted one of the documents to B&W as well as compressing it (the one named "(02)" obviously!). The original images were all colour or grey scale.

 

Usual considerations apply: "The documents were compressed at 10% and not tested for post-compression usability. Do your own testing for usability, archive or evidential suitability, yadda yadda."
