Use an image icon to replace a large size of PDF/Office document for WebScan client

Product Documentation


Abstract

You can display the PDF/Office document as an icon if a PDF/Office Document size exceeds the specified value in task settings.

Content

When importing a large PDF file via WebScan client, it takes a long time to display it in viewer, although you may not want to view it in viewer. When switching to a PDF page via batch tree, it opens it in a new viewer instance by default. Thus, you may have to send the large file to the server again. 

This issue can be resolved if you use a feature that displays a place holder icon instead of the file, in the viewer. Thus, the large file is not uploaded to the server, thereby executing the operation faster. 

Complete the following steps to use this feature:

  1. Set the max size of displaying PDF/Office Document in Virtual Viewer;  '0' or empty means the feature is disabled. Set the max size according to your bandwidth and large PDF size definition in your environment. The unit is KB. For example, set the max size to 20M.
  2. Retain the setting if you import a PDF/Office document whose size is smaller than the max size in task settings.
  3. In case the file size exceeds the max size,
    1. Retain the same batch pages structure in batch tree, but use an icon that is stored in Datacap Navigator to replace the PDF in Daeja virtual viewer;
    2. The rotation related menus in viewer action drop down list are hidden for the large size of PDF; 
    3. If you navigate through the viewer directly, the rotation menus are displayed. The icon is rotated, but the PDF is not affected. (Note that when you navigate pages through the viewer directly, the rotation menus are shown. It is a known issue in current versions of Datacap.)
4. Add below option into scan task setting file such as scan.set.xml under Section <P n="Scan" tip="Setting for scan process" title="Scan">, sample 500 means size >= 500k will show as icon after scan. 
<V label="Max Size to Display PDF/Office document" n="MaxSizetoShowPDFOfficeInVViewer" tip="Specify the max size to display PDF/Office document in virtual viewer, and the unit is KB. 0 means no restriction on file size. Once the file size exceeds the specified size, the file is shown as a PDF icon." type="text">500</V>

Note: This feature only applies to the combination - WebScan client + Daeja Virtual Viewer + PDF/Office Document + Import function
