Glossary Item Box

Prizm Content Connect Plus has a built-in script to generate thumbnail images of the various pages of documents. These thumbnails can be displayed as .swf image files in the default AJAX-based Viewer client, or as .png image files in the Zero Footprint Client, Mobile Client, and various other applications.

For creating a batch process or other custom application, thumbnails can be generated using convert2swfclient.jar or by using the ProxyWebService.

Thumbnail related arguments:

  • The convert2swfclient.jar file can only be run if Prizm Proxy Server service is running.
  • Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or higher needs to be installed on the machine executing the utility. 

Generating Thumbnails Using convert2swfclient

Example 1:

To create a thumbnail of page 1 of sample.tiff:

Copy Code
java -jar <prizm-install>/convert2swfclient.jar source=/path/to/sample.tiff thumbnail=100x100 pages=1

Example 2:

To create a thumbnail of all pages of sample.tiff:

Copy Code

java -jar <prizm-install>/convert2swfclient.jar source=/path/to/sample.tiff thumbnail=100x100

Example 3:

The Watermark feature requires a full license key.

To create a thumbnail of sample.tiff, specify target location, and add watermark “Approved” on each thumbnail:

Copy Code
java -jar <prizm-install>/convert2swfclient.jar source= /path/to/sample.tiff target=/other/path/to/ thumbnail=100x100 wtmtext=Approved wtmfont=Helvetica wtmsize=50 wtmalpha=70
