Description

Introduction: Integration Units.

Important note: This Integration Unit requires additional Java classes, but these are currently not available for version 4.1, only for 4.5.

The RenderPDFUnit is able to convert a PDF file into a TIFF file.

This Integration Unit only expects one parameter Number of pixel on short page side that defines the number of pixels of the shorter side of the TIFF file to be created (the other side stays proportional).

The PDF format contains binary data, which cannot be parsed in Lobster_data. As a consequence, the Integration Unit does not expect the PDF data from the destination tree of a mapping. Instead, it directly reads the input data of the job (i.e. the backup file).

Example

To receive a PDF file and archive it as a TIFF file use

• an arbitrary Input Agent,

• the DummyPreParser, to not pass binary data to the parser,

• the RenderPDFUnit in phase 5 and

• a Response Route with the settings Content: Content of IU and Encoding: 8859_1 to archive or send the created TIFF file.
