PDF to GIF Node

The PDF to GIF node converts a PDF document to a .gif image format. When converting a PDF page to an image all of the content will be flattened and rasterized into a separate image for each page of the document. Each page that is created can be sent as individual messages in the workflow or a single packaged zip file.

General Settings

DPI Resolution – Choose the desired resolution in DPI used to render the page. 72 is the PDF native resolution. When selecting a DPI it's best to follow the below guidelines

Black-and-white documents

- Lowest acceptable resolution = 200 DPI (equal to “high” fax quality)
- Conventional resolution = 300 DPI
- Highest conventional resolution = 600 DPI

Color documents (and color compression)

- Lowest acceptable resolution = 150 DPI
- Conventional resolution = 200 DPI
- Highest conventional resolution = 300 DPI
- Archive resolution = 600 DPI

Pages

All Pages: all pages in the document

Page Range: set custom range of pages if needed using values separated by commas. For example, to print only pages 2 to 4 & 6 to 12 & 20 of a 30 page document enter “2-4, 6-12, 20″. Documents using Page Labels will require the exact page label to be entered (i.e. iv, v, etc...)

First Page: the first page of the document

Last Page: the last page of the document

Subset: Subset of the currently set page range to print. Choose from the below options

All pages in range: prints all the pages in the set range
Even pages only: prints only the even pages in the set range (i.e. 2, 4, 6, etc...)
Odd pages only: prints only the odd pages in the set range (i.e. 1, 3, 5, etc...)

Output

Separate Files: send an individual message payload for each page of the document being converted

Single zip file: send all converted pages packaged in a in a single zip file to the message payload

File name pattern: Enter a filename for the files added to the zip archive. Each name will have the document page number appended to the name entered in this field. Variables may also be used to further distinguish each of the file separations.
