Integration Units

Function

Is able to convert a PDF file into a TIFF file.

Description


Introduction: Integration Units. Set the Content in the Content settings of a Response Route in phase 6 to Output of IU.

Important note: This Integration Unit needs additional Java classes. Please contact our support if you are interested.


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

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 target tree of a mapping. Instead, it directly reads the input data of the job (i.e. the backup file).

Parameters


Parameter

Description

Number of pixel on short page side

Defines the number of pixels of the shorter side of the TIFF file to be created (the other side stays proportional). Default: 2362 .

Render in black and white

If true, the TIFF file is created in black and white (bit depth 1). Default: false .

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.
