A staff member is often emailed PDFs that need to be converted to TIFF files. How can you do this in LF 9?
Thank you,
Glen
You also have the ability to "Generate Pages" from PDFs during import so Snapshot isn't required. See this page for more details.
Hi Glen,
You could simply use snapshot to 'print' the document into Laserfiche. This will convert it to B&W however.
Hope this helps!
Ah yes Alexander! I did think about that but then the document will be in Laserfiche as a PDF not a TIFF image (granted it will have a TIFF image associated with the document but essentially it's a PDF). Not sure if that's what Glen wanted here?
Anyway! Either way is perfectly straight forward!
Thanks for the extra info Alexander! Helpful as always!
If you have anyone on staff that can code, you can create a program that can convert PDF to TIFF.
I have created several command line apps that take a Doc ID as a command line argument, exports the PDF from Laserfiche to a temp folder, converts it to TIFF, imports the TIFF back into the same LF document, cleans up the temp files, removes the PDF portion of the LF document, and finally marks the document (field or tag) as converted (to notify workflow to continue).
I then use a script activity in workflow to trigger the conversion process.
Search the LF site for Ghostscript to find examples I have posted to use Ghostscript to convert PDF to TIFF.
