2022.2

Processing
The PDF to Bitmap plugin converts PDF pages to bitmaps, optionally scaling them.
Invalid pages or ranges generate an error; in this case, no bitmap is produced.
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.
If the plugin can't connect to the OL Connect Server it will return an error message.
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 Con-
nect Server connection settings within Workflow (see "OL Connect preferences" on page652).
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 max-
imum is 1200. For example, with the minimum of 12, a PDF page that is 8,5 inch wide is con-
verted 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 bit-
maps to the current temporary folder, using the PDF's original file name. If no extension is spe-
cified, 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. mybit-
map1.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.
