2021.2

Note
As of OL Connect version 2020.2 the PDF to Bitmap plugin requires the OL Connect
Server to produce output.
This could cause problems when running older configurations. To cure such issues, set
the Connect Server connection settings within Workflow (see "OL Connect preferences"
on page786).
Output
This task outputs the PDF file it received with no modification.
Properties
The General tab has the following options:
l
Output format: The output format can be either PNG or JPG.
l
Resolution: Specify the resolution of the bitmaps (pixels per inch). The minimum is 12,
the maximum is 1200. For example, with the minimum of 12, a PDF page that is 8,5 inch
wide is converted into a bitmap of 102 pixels wide, which could be used as a thumbnail
on a web page.
l
Page range: An asterisk (*) means: convert all pages. It can be replaced with a
combination of the following, comma-separated values:
l a single page number
l a range of pages: n1-[n2]. If n2 is not specified, the range extends to the end of the
file. Any value specified after the next comma is ignored.
Example: 1, 7-10, 13, 15- means the task will convert pages 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, and 15 until
the end of the file.
l
Output folder and file name: Specify where the bitmaps are saved; %t%O means: save
the bitmaps to the current temporary folder, using the PDF's original file name. If no
extension is specified, the selected output format is used to add the extension
automatically. When multiple pages are saved, the index of each page is appended to the
output file name (e.g. mybitmap1.jpg, mybitmap2,jpg, etc.).
If the specified output folder doesn't exist, it will be created. If the folder cannot be created,
an "Error creating directory" message is logged.
