PDF to TIFF Converter

This adapter converts a PDF document into a TIFF graphic (Tagged Image File Format) and outputs the graphic as a binary data stream. Multi-page PDF documents are converted into a multi-page TIFF graphic (Multipage TIFF).

Properties

Operation

Determines which operation the adapter executes

Possible values: Transformation: Convert PDF document into a TIFF graphic.

Parameters

Adapter

Main class of the adapter (do not change!)

Possible values: en.softproject.integration.adapter. pdf2tiff.PDFToTiffAdapter: Main class (default)

compression

Compression type

Possible values:

  • Deflate (1): Lossless compression via deflate

  • JPEG (2): Use JPEG compression (lossy)

  • None (3): Do not compress (default)

  • Packbits (4): Lossless compression via PackBits run-length encoding

deflateLvl

Deflate level (if Deflate compression type is selected and Deflate compression is to be applied to the entire TIFF file).

Possible values:

  • Any integer from 1-9 (compresses fastest at 1, most verbose at 9).

  • 0: Do not apply deflate compression to the entire TIFF image (default).

quality

For JPEG compression: Quality level of the (lossy) JPEG compression.

Possible values:

  • Any integer from 0-100 (at 0 lowest quality, at 100 maximum quality)

  • 0: Lowest quality, i.e. maximum compression (standard)

resX

Horizontal screen/print resolution value

Possible values:

  • Any integer (e.g. 72)

  • 0: Do not set a resolution value

resY

Vertical screen/print resolution value

Possible values:

  • Any integer (e.g. 72)

  • 0: Do not set a resolution value

resUnit

Unit for screen/print resolution

Possible values:

  • No absolute unit: Do not set an absolute unit

  • Inch: Use inch as unit (DPI or PPI)

  • Centimeter: Use centimetre as unit

Status values

1The operation was executed successfully.
-1The operation failed due to a technical error.

An (optional) CPU type/operating system-dependent JAI MediaLib library is not supplied. The adapter therefore shows the following error message in the server log, but this is not relevant for adapter execution:

CODE
ERROR [STDERR] Could not find mediaLib accelerator wrapper classes.
 Continuing in pure Java mode."

To switch off the JAI MediaLib library, set the following Java VM option (e.g. in the start script):

CODE
@set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.media.jai.disableMediaLib=true
JavaScript errors detected
