How to Generate Thumbnails

Generating 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 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

source	the source folder and file for conversion
target	the target folder and target file
wtmtext	specifies thumbnail image width and height (e.g., 150x200)
wtmtext	adds watermark on each page (Note – Watermark feature requires full license key.)
wtmfont	watermark font, default: Helvetica
wtmsize	watermark size, default: 130
wtmalpha	watermark opacity (1-100), default: 10

Generating Thumbnails Using the WebService

Example 1

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

http://localhost:18680/convert2swf?source=c:/temp/sample.tiff&thumbnail=100x100&pages=1

Example 2

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

java -jar convert2swfclient.jar source=sample.tiff thumbnail=100x150

http://localhost:18680/convert2swf?source=c:/temp/sample.tiff&thumbnail=100x150

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:

http://localhost:18680/convert2swf?source=c:/temp/sample.tiff&thumbnail=100x100&wtmtext=Approved
