About OL Connect Image

OL Connect Image is a multi-threaded service that can generate image files in PDF, JPEG and TIFF format. As OL Connect Workflow and OL Connect Image are compliant with AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture, these formats can also be used.

The generated files can be archived and, depending on whether you use a OL Connect Image Output task or a Digital Action task, sent via email. Note that you can use Search, another program included in OL Connect Workflow, to search through archived PDF files.

Note: All raster images, such as GIFs or JPEGs, generated by OL Connect Image are portrait oriented.

OL Connect Image can be installed on any computer on your network and can process requests coming from tasks performed by OL Connect Workflow on other workstations. You may choose to run it on every computer where OL Connect Workflow is running, but you may also choose to run it on computers more or less dedicated to OL Connect Image. Note that in the case of Digital Action tasks, OL Connect Workflow and the OL Connect Image service must be running on the same computer.

Note: The minimum time required to generate a OL Connect Image document is approximately 10 times longer on Windows 2000 than on Windows XP/2003.

Preferences

In addition to the job-specific OL Connect Image properties that you configure in the task’s Properties dialog box, there are configurable options common to all OL Connect Image Outputs processed by a given computer; see OL Connect Image preferences. Note that those options are specific to each OL Connect Image installation and that they are immediately applied.
