Resizing and creating thumbnails

[gabrielp]

Hi guys,
Has anyone found a way, without using the Photoshop configurator, to "fit resize" thumbnails? Meaning, I want to take a PDF, create a thumbnail of the first page, and resize it so its longest dimension is 350 pixels, without distorting its aspect ratio. PDF2Image only takes inline values for the fixed width/height, so if I calculate the resized aspect ratio, I can't use it within PDF2Image.

The documentation of the PDF2Image configurator says:

Image dimensions

If 'Resolution' is selected, the page will be rendered at given resolution. If 'Fixed with and/or height' is selected, the page is rendered at given width and/or height. At least one of Height or Width must be defined. If both are defined, the aspect ratio is not maintained.

In other words, specifying one of the two values will do. You will have to have two instances, one for portrait and one for landscape with a condition.

Perfect! It's very nice having you on the forums now

Nice man. I'll probably be your first customer

Freddy, why don't they accept a variable for those dimensions? It makes so much sense to allow for one there.

That's an oversight and will be fixed for the next release. Thanks for pointing it out
