How to Generate Thumbnails

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 or as .png image files in the client 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:

source: the source folder and file for conversion
target: the target folder and target file
thumbnail: specifies thumbnail image width and height (e.g., 150x200)

wtmtext: adds watermark on each page

The Watermark feature requires a full license key.

wtmfont: watermark font, default: Helvetica
wtmsize: watermark size, default: 130
wtmalpha: watermark opacity (1-100), default: 10

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
