12 Image Export Java Classes

This chapter describes the Image Export Java classes.

The following classes are covered:

12.1 Annotation Class

Annotation is an abstract base class for the Annotation objects.

Namespace

com.oracle.outsidein.annotations

Accessors

  • Height (long) Height of area in coordinates or rows

    void setHeight(long)
    long getHeight()
    
  • Left (long) Leftmost coordinate or column

    void setLeft(long)
    long getLeft()
    
  • Opacity (float) Opacity of the annotation. Range 0.0 - 1.0; setting opacity to 0 makes the annotation invisible

    void setOpacity(float) throws OutsideInException
    float getOpacity()
    
  • SectionIndex (long) 0-based page/sheet/image/slide index

    void setSectionIndex(long)

Annotation.UnitTypeValue Enumeration

The UnitTypeValue is an enumeration of the various unit types that annotation positions can be described in.

  • Pixels: Units specified in Pixels

  • Twips: Units specified in Twips (1/1440th of an inch)

  • Cells: Units specified in cell positions

12.2 ArchiveNode Class

ArchiveNode provides information about an archive node. This is a read-only class where the technology fills in all the values.

Namespace

com.oracle.outsidein

Accessors

  • boolean isFolder() - A value of true indicates that the record is an archive node.

  • int getFileSize() - File size of the archive node

  • java.util.Date getTime() - Time the archive node was created

  • int getNodeNum() - Serial number of the archive node in the archive

  • String getNodeName() - The name of the archive node

12.3 Callback Class

Callback messages are notifications that come from Outside In during the export process, providing information and sometimes the opportunity to customize the generated output.

Namespace

com.oracle.outsidein

To access callback messages, your code must create an object that inherits from Callback and pass it through the API's SetCallbackHandler method. Your object can implement methods that override the default behavior for whichever methods your application is interested in.

Callback has two methods that you can override: createNewFile and newFileInfo.

12.3.1 createNewFile

CreateNewFileResponse createNewFile( FileFormat parentOutputId,  FileFormat outputId,
   AssociationValue association, String path)  throws IOException 

This callback is made any time a new output file needs to be generated. This gives the developer the chance to affect where the new output file is created, how it is named, and the URL (if any) used to reference the file.

Parameters

  • parentOutputId: File format identifier of the parent file

  • outputId: File format identifier of the file created

  • association: An AssociationValue that describes relationship between the primary output file and the new file.

  • path: Full path of the file to be created

Return Value

To take action in response to this notification, return a CreateNewFileResponse object with the new file information. If you wish to accept the defaults for the path and URL, you may return null.

12.3.1.1 CreateNewFileResponse Class

This is a class to define a new output file location in response to a CreateNewFile callback. If you do not wish to change the path to the new output file, you may use the path as received. If you do not wish to specify the URL for the new file, you many specify it as null.

Constructor

CreateNewFileResponse(File file, String url) throws IOException
 
  • file: File object containing the full path to the new file

  • url: A new URL that references the newly created file. This parameter can be null.

CreateNewFileResponse(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect, String url) throws IOException
  • redirect: Object that will be written to as the destination of the transform

  • url: A new URL that references the newly created file.This parameter can be null.

AssociationValue Enumeration

This enumeration defines, for a new file created by an export process, the different possible associations between the new file and the primary output file. Its value may be one of the following:

  • ROOT - indicates the primary output file

  • CHILD - a new file linked (directly or indirectly) from the primary output file

  • SIBLING - indicates new files not linked from the primary output file

  • COPY - the file was copied as a part of a template macro operation.

  • REQUIREDNAME - not used

Note that some of these relationships will not be possible in all Outside In Export SDKs.

12.3.2 newFileInfo

void newFileInfo( FileFormat parentOutputId, FileFormat outputId,
    AssociationValue association, String path, String url) throws IOException

This informational callback is made just after each new file has been created.

Parameters

  • parentOutputId: File format identifier of the parent file

  • outputId: File format identifier of the file created

  • association: An AssociationValue that describes relationship between the primary output file and the new file.

  • path: Full path of the file created

  • url: URL that references the newly created file

Example

Here is a basic callback handler that notifies an application that it has received newFileInfo notifications.

 public static class CallbackHandler extends Callback
 {
   myApplication m_theApp;
 
   public CallbackHandler( myApplication app )
   {
     m_theApp = app;
   }
 
   public void newFileInfo(FileFormat parentOutputId,
       FileFormat outputId, AssociationValue association,
       String path, String url) throws IOException
   {
     if( association == AssociationValue.ROOT )
       m_theApp.primaryOutputIsReady(true);
        
     m_theApp.newOutputFile(path);
   }
 }

12.3.3 prepareNewPage

NewPageResponse PrepareNewPage(long PageNumber)

This callback is made at the beginning of processing a new output page. This gives the developer the chance to add or modify the Margin Text to be placed on the page.

Parameters

  • PageNumber: the zero-based index of the page about to be rendered.

Return Value

To add or modify the Margin Text, respond to this notification with a NewPageResponse object with the margin text information. If you wish to not change the currently set values, you may return null.

12.3.3.1 NewPageResponse Class

This is a class to define the new margin text to use in response to a prepareNewPage callback.

Constructor

NewPageResponse(MarginText marginText)
  • marginText: A MarginText object with the Margin text for all the different margin locations.

12.3.4 pageInfoSlideNotes

void pageInfoSlideNotes(long PageNumber, string[] SlideNotes)

This informational callback is made after each slide if the last processed slide has any notes (such as speaker notes) associated with it. (Note that a request for this callback should be made through setPageInformationRequired.)

Parameters

  • PageNumber: The zero-based index of the page about to be rendered.

  • SlideNotes: The notes associated with this slide.

12.3.5 pageInfoVisibility

 void PageInfoVisibility(long PageNumber, bool IsVisible)

    bLeaveSourceOpen: If set to true, keeps the source document open for next export process.

    Note:

    Before Release 8.5.3, calling Export() with no parameters, would leave the source document open. The default behavior starting with Release 8.5.3 is to close the document after exporting the file. If you would like to keep the file open for other conversions, use this method with "bLeaveSourceOpen" set to true.

    setDestinationFile

    OptionsCache setDestinationFile(
          String filename

    OptionsCache setExportTimeout(int millisecondsTimeout)
     
    

    This method sets the time that the export process should wait for a response from the Outside In export engine to complete the export of a document, setting an upper limit on the time that will elapse during a call to export(). If the specified length of time is reached before the export has completed, the export operation will be terminated and an OutsideInException will be thrown. If this option is not set, the default timeout is 5 minutes.

  • newLocalExporter

    static Exporter newLocalExporter(Exporter source)
    

    This method creates and returns an instance of an Exporter object based on the source Exporter. All the options of source are copied to the new Exporter. The source and destination file information will not be copied.

12.5.3 SeekableByteChannel6 Interface

Enables API users to handle I/O for the source and destination documents. Implement this interface to control I/O operations such as reading, writing, and seeking. This interface mimics the java.nio.channels.SeekableByteChannel interface which is only available in Java 7 and later. Note that SeekableByteChannel6 will be removed in favor of java.nio.channels.SeekableByteChannel if support for Java 6 is dropped in a future release of the Outside In Java API. Until then, this interface must be used if redirected I/O is required.

Namespace

com.oracle.outsidein

Methods

  • Get position

    long position()
    

    Returns this channel's position.

  • Set position

    SeekableByteChannel6 position(long newPosition)
    

    Sets this channel's position.

  • read

    int read(java.nio.ByteBuffer dst)
    

    Reads a sequence of bytes from this channel into the given buffer. Bytes are read starting at this channel's current position, and then the position is updated with the number of bytes actually read.

  • size

    long size()
    

    Returns the current size of the entity to which this channel is connected.

  • truncate

    SeekableByteChannel6 truncate(long size)
    

    Truncates the entity, to which this channel is connected, to the given size. Never invoked by Outside In and may be implemented by just returning this.

  • write

    int write(java.io.nio.ByteBuffer src)
    

    Writes a sequence of bytes to this channel from the given buffer. Bytes are written starting at this channel's current position. The entity to which the channel is connected is grown, if necessary, to accommodate the written bytes, and then the position is updated with the number of bytes actually written.

  • close

    void close()
    

    Closes this channel. If this channel is already closed then invoking this method has no effect.

  • isOpen

    boolean isOpen()
    

    Tells whether or not this channel is open.

12.5.4 OptionsCache Class

This section describes the OptionsCache class.

The options that configure the way outputs are generated are accessed through the OptionsCache class.

All of the options described in the following subsections are available through this interface. Other methods in this interface are described below.

Namespace

com.oracle.outsidein.options

Methods

  • OptionsCache setSourceFile(File file) throws OutsideInException

    Sets the source document to be opened.

    file: Full path to source file

  • OptionsCache setSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect) throws OutsideInException

    Sets an object that implements SeekableByteChannel6 to be used as the source document. Exporting a file using this method may have issues with files that require the original name of the file (examples: if the extension of the file is needed for identification purposes or if the name of a secondary file depends on the name/path of the original source file).

    redirect: Object implementing SeekableByteChannel6 to be used to read the source data containing the input file

  • OptionsCache setSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect, String filename) throws OutsideInException

    Sets an object that implements SeekableByteChannel6 to be used as the source document and provides information about the filename.

    redirect: Object implementing SeekableByteChannel6 to be used to read the source data containing the input file

    filename: A fully qualified path or file name that may be used to derive the extension of the file or name of a secondary file that is dependent on the name/path of the source file

  • OptionsCache addSourceFile(File file) throws OutsideInException

    Sets the next source document file to be exported in sequence. This allows multiple documents to be exported to the same output destination.

    file: Full path to source file

  • OptionsCache addSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect)

    Set a redirected channel as the next source document to be exported to the original destination file. This method has the same limitations as the similar setSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect) method.

  • OptionsCache addSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect, String Filename)

    Set a redirected channel as the next source document to be exported to the original destination file. The file name provided is used as in the method setSourceFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect, String Filename)

  • OptionsCache setSourceFormat(FileFormat fileId)

    Sets the source format to process the input file as, ignoring the algorithmic detection of the file type.

    fileId: the format to treat the input document as.

  • OptionsCache setDestinationFile(File file) throws OutsideInException

    Sets the location of the destination file.

    file: Full path to the destination file

  • OptionsCache setDestinationFile(SeekableByteChannel6 redirect) throws OutsideInException

    Sets an object that implements SeekableByteChannel6 to be used as the destination document. An Exporter.export() operation will write the output data to the provided SeekableByteChannel6 object.

    redirect: Object implementing SeekableByteChannel6 to be used as the destination document written during an Exporter.export() operation

  • OptionsCache setDestinationFormat(FileFormat fileId)

    Sets the destination file format to which the file should be converted.

    fileId: the format to convert the input document(s) to.

  • OptionsCache setCallbackHandler(Callback callback)

    Sets the object to use to handle callbacks.

    callback: the callback handling object.

  • OptionsCache setPasswordsList(List<String> Passwords)

    Provides a list of strings to use as passwords for encrypted documents. The technology will cycle through this list until a successful password is found or the list is exhausted.

    Passwords: List of strings to be used as passwords.

  • OptionsCache setLotusNotesId(String NotesIdFile)

    Sets the Lotus Notes ID file location.

    NotesIdFile: Full path to the Notes ID file.

  • OptionsCache setOpenForNonSequentialAccess(boolean bOpenForNonSequentialAccess)

    Setting this option causes the technology to open archive files in a special mode that is only usable for non-sequential access of nodes.

    bOpenForNonSequentialAccess : If set to true would open the archive file in the special access mode. Note that turning this flag on a non-archive file will throw an exception at RunExport time.

12.5.4.1 BiDiReorderMethod

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_REORDERMETHOD

This option controls how the technology reorders bidirectional text.

Data Type

  • BiDiReorderMethodValue

BiDiReorderMethodValue Enumeration

One of the following values:

  • UNICODEOFF: This disables any processing for bidirectional characters. This option is the default.

  • UNICODELTOR: Characters displayed using the Unicode bidirectional algorithm assuming a base left-to-right order. Use this option to enable bidirectional rendering.

  • UNICODERTOL: Characters displayed using the Unicode bidirectional algorithm assuming a base right-to-left order. Use this option to force starting bidirectional rendering in the right-to-left.

Default

UNICODEOFF

12.5.4.2 CropToContent

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_CROPPING

When set to True, this option forces Image Export to crop whitespace from the edge of each output image. This includes margins and any unused space at the end of a page. This results in smaller output files without any loss of original input document content.

If there is no content, then no cropping is performed.

Data Type

boolean

12.5.4.3 DefaultInputCharacterSet

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_DEFAULTINPUTCHARSET

This option is used in cases where Outside In cannot determine the character set used to encode the text of an input file. When all other means of determining the file's character set are exhausted, Outside In will assume that an input document is encoded in the character set specified by this option. This is most often used when reading plain-text files, but may also be used when reading HTML or PDF files.

12.5.4.4 DefaultRenderFont

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_DEFAULTPRINTFONT

This option sets the font to use when the chunker-specified font is not available on the system. It is also the font used when the font in source file is not available on the system performing the conversion.

Class members:

string strFaceName

UInt16 FontHeight

12.5.4.5 DefaultPageMargins

This option specifies the top, left, bottom and right margins in twips from the edges of the page. For instance, setting all the values to 1440 creates a 1-inch margin on all sides. Page margins will only be applied when formatting word processing, database and spreadsheet files.

Please note all margins are applied before scaling with the PageFitMode option. This option is overridden when the UseDocumentPageSettings option is set to true and print margins are specified in the input document. This option does not affect the output of bitmap, presentation, vector or archive files.

Data Type

This option allows the user to enable alpha-channel blending (transparency) in rendering vector images. This is primarily useful to improve fidelity when rendering with a slower graphics engine, such as X-Windows over a network when performance is not an issue.

Data

Boolean

Default

False

12.5.4.9 FallbackFormat

This option controls how files are handled when their specific application type cannot be determined. This normally affects all plain-text files, because plain-text files are generally identified by process of elimination, for example, when a file isn't identified as having been created by a known application, it is treated as a plain-text file. It is recommended that None be set to prevent the conversion from exporting unidentified binary files as though they were text, which could generate many pages of "garbage" output.

Data Type

FallbackFormatValue

FallbackFormatValue Enumeration

  • TEXT: Unidentified file types will be treated as text files.

  • NONE: Outside In will not attempt to process files whose type cannot be identified

Default

TEXT

12.5.4.10 FitHeightToPages

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTSCALEXHIGH

This option will fit the spreadsheet image to the number of vertical pages specified. The setting for this option will have no effect unless the SSPrintFitToPage option is set to FitToPages.

Data Type

long

Default

1

12.5.4.11 FitWidthToPages

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTSCALEXWIDE

This option will fit the spreadsheet image to the number of horizontal pages specified. The setting for this option will have no effect unless the SSPrintFitToPage option is set to FitToPages.

Data Type

long

Default

1

12.5.4.12 FontAliasList

This option enables the capability to specify which font on the system should be used when a specific font referenced in the original file is not available. A different alias can be set for each font desired to be mapped.

Data Type

FontAliases

Data

A FontAliases object with a list of font matchings.

Default

Windows and Unix PrintAlias defaults

12.5.4.13 GraphicHeight

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_HEIGHT

This option defines the absolute height in pixels to which exported graphics will be resized. If this option is set and the GraphicWidth option is not, the width of the image will be calculated based on the aspect ratio of the source image. The developer should be aware that very large values for this option or GraphicWidth could produce images whose size exceeds available system memory, resulting in conversion failure.

If you are exporting a non-graphic file (word processing, spreadsheet or archive) and the settings for GraphicHeight and GraphicWidth do not match the aspect ratio of the original document, the exported image will have whitespace added so that the original file's aspect ratio is maintained.

The settings for the GraphicHeightLimit and GraphicWidth options can override the setting for GraphicHeight.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.14 GraphicHeightLimit

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_HEIGHTLIMIT

Note that this option differs from the behavior of setting the height of graphics in that it sets an upper limit on the image height. Images larger than this limit will be reduced to the limit value. However, images smaller than this height will not be enlarged when using this option. Setting the height using GraphicHeight causes all output images to be reduced or enlarged to be of the specified height.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.15 GraphicOutputDPI

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_OUTPUTDPI

This option allows the user to specify the output graphics device's resolution in DPI and only applies to images whose size is specified in physical units (in/cm). For example, consider a 1" square, 100 DPI graphic that is to be rendered on a 50 DPI device (GraphicOutputDPI is set to 50). In this case, the size of the resulting TIFF, BMP, JPEG, GIF, or PNG will be 50 x 50 pixels.

In addition, the special #define of SCCGRAPHIC_MAINTAIN_IMAGE_DPI, which is defined as 0, can be used to suppress any dimensional changes to an image. In other words, a 1" square, 100 DPI graphic will be converted to an image that is 100 x 100 pixels in size. This value indicates that the DPI of the output device is not important. It extracts the maximum resolution from the input image with the smallest exported image size.

Setting this option to SCCGRAPHIC_MAINTAIN_IMAGE_DPI may result in the creation of extremely large images. Be aware that there may be limitations in the system running this technology that could result in undesirably large bandwidth consumption or an error message. Additionally, an out of memory error message will be generated if system memory is insufficient to handle a particularly large image.

Also note that the SCCGRAPHIC_MAINTAIN_IMAGE_DPI setting will force the technology to use the DPI settings already present in raster images, but will use the current screen resolution as the DPI setting for any other type of input file.

For some output graphic types, there may be a discrepancy between the value set by this option and the DPI value reported by some graphics applications. The discrepancy occurs when the output format uses metric units (DPM, or dots per meter) instead of English units (DPI, or dots per inch). Depending on how the graphics application performs rounding on meters to inches conversions, the DPI value reported may be 1 unit more than expected. An example of a format which may exhibit this problem is PNG.

The maximum value that can be set is 2400 DPI; the default is 96 DPI.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.16 GraphicRenderAsPage

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_RENDERASPAGE

GraphicRenderAsPage affects the way raster (bitmapped) images such as TIFF, JPG, and PNG are handled. The default behavior for Image Export is to export such images as copies of the input document, scaled according to the width and height options set by the caller. If GraphicRenderAsPage is enabled, the output produced by Image Export will look like a printed page, with the image placed on a white rectangle representing a virtual page. As usual, the dimensions of the entire image, including the virtual page, will be controlled by the normal Image Export output width and height settings. The margins into which the image will be placed will be controlled by existing Outside In print margin options. The image itself will be attempted to be scaled to its true (physical) size, or scaled down to fit within the margins if necessary.

Data Type

boolean

Data

  • true: Raster file images are fit to page.

  • false: Raster file images are not fit to page.

Default

false

12.5.4.17 GraphicSizeLimit

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_SIZELIMIT

This option is used to set the maximum size of the exported graphic in pixels. It may be used to prevent inordinately large graphics from being converted to equally cumbersome output files, thus preventing bandwidth waste.

This setting takes precedence over all other options and settings that affect the size of a converted graphic.

When creating a multi-page TIFF file, this limit is applied on a per page basis. It is not a pixel limit on the entire output file.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.18 GraphicSizeMethod

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_SIZEMETHOD

This option determines the method used to size graphics. The developer can choose among three methods, each of which involves some degree of trade off between the quality of the resulting image and speed of conversion.

Using the quick sizing option results in the fastest conversion of color graphics, though the quality of the converted graphic will be somewhat degraded. The smooth sizing option results in a more accurate representation of the original graphic, as it uses anti-aliasing. Antialiased images may appear smoother and can be easier to read, but rendering when this option is set will require additional processing time. The grayscale only option also uses antialiasing, but only for grayscale graphics, and the quick sizing option for any color graphics.

The smooth sizing option does not work on images which have a width or height of more than 4096 pixels.

Data

  • QUICKSIZING

  • SMOOTHSIZING

  • SMOOTHGRAYSCALESIZING

12.5.4.19 GraphicWidth

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_WIDTH

This option defines the absolute width in pixels to which exported graphics will be resized. If this option is set and the GraphicHeight option is not, the height of the image will be calculated based on the aspect ratio of the source image. The developer should be aware that very large values for this option or GraphicHeight could produce images whose size exceeds available system memory, resulting in conversion failure.

If you are exporting a non-graphic file (word processing, spreadsheet or archive) and the settings for GraphicHeight and GraphicWidth do not match the aspect ratio of the original document, the exported image will have whitespace added so that the original file's aspect ratio is maintained.

The settings for the GraphicHeightLimit and GraphicWidthLimit options can override the setting for GraphicWidth.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.20 GraphicWidthLimit

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_WIDTHLIMIT

This option allows a hard limit to be set for how wide in pixels an exported graphic may be. Any images wider than this limit will be resized to match the limit. It should be noted that regardless whether the GraphicHeightLimit option is set or not, any resized images will preserve their original aspect ratio.

Note that this option differs from the behavior of setting the width of graphics by using GraphicWidth in that it sets an upper limit on the image width. Images larger than this limit will be reduced to the limit value. However, images smaller than this width will not be enlarged when using this option. Setting the width using GraphicWidth causes all output images to be reduced or enlarged to be of the specified width.

Data Type

long

12.5.4.21 GridMaxPageHeight

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_MAXSSDBPAGEHEIGHT

Normally, the size of images generated from spreadsheet worksheets and database tables is limited to the size of the page defined by the input document's page size information and how the UseDocumentPageSettings, GraphicWidth and GraphicHeight options are set. If, after scaling is factored in, the resulting image is too large to fit on a single page, it is split up into multiple pages.

The GridMaxPageWidth and GridMaxPageHeight options are used to change the size of a page to match the scaled size of the page being rendered - within limits. The key reason for those limits is that rendering very large pages can easily overwhelm the memory available on the system. When using this feature, a calculation should be made to be sure that the values passed in work within said memory limits. The values for these two options will override the current page dimensions if necessary.

Data Type

long

Data

The maximum page height (including margins) specified in twips (1440 twips are in 1 inch). If the value specified is smaller than the page height, then an error will be returned.

12.5.4.22 GridMaxPageWidth

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_MAXSSDBPAGEWIDTH

See the documentation for GridMaxPageHeight for a full discussion of how this option works and interacts with other options affecting the page size of images generated from spreadsheet and database pages.

Data Type

long

Data

The maximum page width (including margins) specified in twips (1440 twips are in 1 inch). If the value specified is smaller than the page width, then Image Export will return an error.

12.5.4.23 IECondCommentMode

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_HTML_COND_COMMENT_MODE

Some HTML input files may include "conditional comments", which are HTML comments that mark areas of HTML to be interpreted in specific versions of Internet Explorer, while being ignored by other browsers. This option allows you to control how the content contained within conditional comments will be interpreted by Outside In's HTML parsing code.

Data

  • NONE: Don't output any conditional comment

  • IE5: Include the IE5 comments

  • IE6: Include the IE6 comments

  • IE7: Include the IE7 comments

  • IE8: Include the IE8 comments

  • IE9: Include the IE9 comments

  • ALL: Include all conditional comments

12.5.4.24 IgnorePassword

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_IGNORE_PASSWORD

This option can disable the password verification of files where the contents can be processed without validation of the password. If this option is not set, the filter should prompt for a password if it handles password-protected files.

Data Type

boolean

12.5.4.25 InternalRendering

Note:

This option is no longer relevant. Outside In no longer performs graphic rendering through X11 on Linux/Unix platforms.The internal rendering engine is available on all of these platforms. If this option is set, the results will always use the internal rendering engine regardless of the value of this option. The $GDFONTPATH environment variable must be set to specify where to reference fonts. On Windows systems, the Windows graphical rendering engine is always used.

12.5.4.26 ISODateTimes

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_FORMATFLAGS

When this flag is set, all Date and Time values are converted to the ISO 8601 standard. This conversion can only be performed using dates that are stored as numeric data within the original file.

Data Type

boolean

Default

false

12.5.4.27 JPEGQuality

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_JPEG_QUALITY

This option allows the developer to specify the lossyness of JPEG compression. The option is only valid if the dwOutputID parameter of the EXOpenExport function is set to FI_JPEGFIF, FI_PDF, FI_PDFA, or FI_PDFA_2.

Data Type

long

Data

A value from 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest quality but the least compression, and 1 being the lowest quality but the most compression.

Default

100

12.5.4.28 LotusNotesDirectory

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_LOTUSNOTESDIRECTORY

This option allows the developer to specify the location of a Lotus Notes or Domino installation for use by the NSF filter. A valid Lotus installation directory must contain the file nnotes.dll.

Type (Common): String

Data

A path to the Lotus Notes directory.

Default

If this option isn't set, then OIT will first attempt to load the Lotus library according to the operating system's PATH environment variable, and then attempt to find and load the Lotus library as indicated in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notes.Link.

12.5.4.29 MarginText

This option lets you specify a text string for margin text.

Data Type

MarginText

Default

None

12.5.4.30 MarginTextFont

This option lets you set the font and font size for margin text.

Data Type

FontInfo

Default

Arial, 9 pt.

12.5.4.31 PageDirection

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTDIRECTION

This option controls the pattern in which the pages are rendered, either across first and then down, or down first and then across.

This option is overridden when the UseDocumentPageSettings option is set to TRUE and print direction is specified in the input document.

Data

  • PageDirectionValue.ACROSS: Specifies that pages are printed across first and then down.

  • PageDirectionValue.DOWN: Specifies that pages are printed down first and then across.

Default

PageDirectionValue.DOWN

12.5.4.32 PageFitMode

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_DBPRINTFITTOPAGE

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTFITTOPAGE

This option scales a spreadsheet file or database image to a certain percent or to a page width or height. However, in an effort to preserve readability after scaling, Image Export will not shrink a database document to under approximately one-third of its original size.

It should be noted that when this option is set to NOMAP, the pages of the database file are printed down first and then across.

Please note that any margins applied as a result of settings for the DefaultPageMargins option will be included in any scaling that is applied to the output image as a result of settings for this option.

This option is overridden when the UseDocumentPageSettings option is set to TRUE and fitting the page to the printer's image limits is specified in the input document.

Data

  • NOMAP: No scaling is performed on the spreadsheet or database image. It will render in its original size onto as many pages as are required to fit the data.

  • FITTOWIDTH: Scale the spreadsheet or database image in the rendered image so it is no larger than one page wide.

  • FITTOHEIGHT: Scale the spreadsheet or database image in the rendered image so it is no larger than one page high.

  • SCALE: Scale the spreadsheet or the database image in the rendered image using the scale value stored in the PageScalePercent option.

  • FITTOPAGES: Scale the spreadsheet or the database image in the rendered image to fit to the number of pages specified in the FitHeightToPages and FitWidthToPages options. Since aspect ratio is maintained, the lesser of the two dimensions (width or height) will determine the scale factor. Note that if either FitHeightToPages or FitWidthToPages is set to 0, the value in the other option will be nullified.

Default

  • SCALE: Scales the rendered image of the spreadsheet or database image using the scale value stored in the PageScalePercent option (which is 100 by default).

12.5.4.33 PageRange

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_WHATTOPRINT

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_PRINTSTARTPAGE

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_PRINTENDPAGE

This option indicates whether the whole file or a selected range of pages should be rendered. When selecting a range, the start and ending pages are specified.

Data Type

PageRange

Data

The page range to be exported.

Default

All pages are printed

12.5.4.34 PageScalePercent

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTSCALEPERCENT

This option will scale spreadsheet pages by the percentage specified. The option has no effect unless the SSPrintFitToPage option is set to Scale.

This option must take a value between 1 and 100. If any value outside of this range is used, the option will be ignored.

Data Type

long

Default

100

12.5.4.35 PDFInputMaxEmbeddedObjects

This option allows the user to limit the number of embedded objects that are produced in a PDF file.

Data Type

long

Data

The maximum number of embedded objects to produce in PDF output. Setting this to 0 would produce an all embedded objects in the input document.

Default

0 – produce all objects.

12.5.4.36 PDFInputMaxVectorPaths

This option allows the user to limit the number of vector paths that are produced in a PDF file.

Data Type

long

Data

The maximum number of paths to produce in PDF output. Setting this to 0 would produce an all vector objects in the input document.

Default

0 – produce all vector objects.

12.5.4.37 PDFReorderBiDi

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_PDF_FILTER_REORDER_BIDI

This option controls whether or not the PDF filter will attempt to reorder bidirectional text runs so that the output is in standard logical order as used by the Unicode 2.0 and later specification. This additional processing will result in slower filter performance according to the amount of bidirectional data in the file.

PDFReorderBiDiValue Enumeration

This enumeration defines the type of Bidirection text reordering the PDF filter should perform.

  • STANDARDBIDI: Do not attempt to reorder bidirectional text runs.

  • REORDEREDBIDI: Attempt to reorder bidirectional text runs.

12.5.4.38 PDFWordSpacingFactor

This option controls the spacing threshold in PDF input documents. Most PDF documents do not have an explicit character denoting a word break. The PDF filter calculates the distance between two characters to determine if they are part of the same word or if there should be a word break inserted. The space between characters is compared to the length of the space character in the current font multiplied by this fraction. If the space between characters is larger, then a word break character is inserted into the text stream. Otherwise, the characters are considered to be part of the same word and no word break is inserted.

Data Type

float

Data

A value representing the percentage of the space character used to trigger a word break. Valid values are positive values less than 2.

Default

0.85

12.5.4.39 PerformExtendedFI

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_FIFLAGS

This option affects how an input file's internal format (application type) is identified when the file is first opened by the Outside In technology. When the extended test flag is in effect, and an input file is identified as being either 7-bit ASCII, EBCDIC, or Unicode, the file's contents will be interpreted as such by the export process.

The extended test is optional because it requires extra processing and cannot guarantee complete accuracy (which would require the inspection of every single byte in a file to eliminate false positives.)

Data Type

boolean

Data

One of the following values:

  • false: When this is set, standard file identification behavior occurs.

  • true: If set, the File Identification code will run an extended test on all files that are not identified.

Default

  • true

12.5.4.40 QuickThumbnail

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_QUICKTHUMBNAIL

When this option is set to true the technology will render scaled images with a focus on speed and reduced overall memory usage. This focus on speed and memory usage, in some cases, will cause the resulting images to be less readable than when this option is set to false.

Data Type

boolean

Data

  • true: Render scaled images as quick thumbnails.

  • false: Render scaled images completely.

Default

true

12.5.4.41 RedactionColor

This option provides the ability to specify the color used for a redaction rectangle (black or white) as well as the color used (black or white) for the redaction code. When the colors match, the redaction code is effectively invisible. Settings should default to Black redactions with White codes if not explicitly set. The values may be set on each redaction individually, both in the UI and in the rendered output.

Value

ColorInfo

Data

Any valid CSS color

12.5.4.42 RedactionLabelFont

This option sets the name and size of font to use for redaction labels. The font size may be reduced to allow text to fit within a redaction rectangle.

Data Type

FontInfo

Default

Default display font, 9 pt.

12.5.4.43 RedactionLabelsVisible

This option allows you to display redaction labels in your output.

Data Type

boolean

Default

False (no labels)

12.5.4.44 RedactionsEnabled

This option tells the export to format the output to be redaction-capable. In practical terms what this means is that all embeddings will be rasterized (routed through sccimg) so that a rectangle in an embedding is consistent across all output formats.

Data Type

boolean

Default

False

12.5.4.45 RenderEmbeddedFonts

This option allows you to disable the use of embedded fonts in PDF input files. If the option is set to true, the embedded fonts in the PDF input are used to render text; if the option is set to false, the embedded fonts are not used and the fallback is to use fonts available to Outside In to render text.

Data Type

boolean

Default

true

12.5.4.46 RenderGridlines

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_DBPRINTGRIDLINES

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTGRIDLINES

If this option is TRUE, a line is generated between cells in the rendered image.

This option is overridden when the UseDocumentPageSettings option is set to TRUE and printing grid lines between cells is specified in the input document.

Data Type

boolean

Default

true

12.5.4.47 RenderHeadings

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_DBPRINTHEADINGS

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSPRINTHEADINGS

If this option is TRUE, field, row and column headings will be generated along with the data.

This option is overridden when the UseDocumentPageSettings option is set to TRUE and printing column and row headers is specified in the input document.

Data Type

boolean

Default

true

12.5.4.48 ShowArchiveFullPath

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_ARCFULLPATH

This option causes the full path of a node to be returned in "GetArchiveNodeInfo" and "GetObjectInfo".

Data Type

boolean

Data

  • true: Provide the full path.

  • false: Do not provide the path.

Default

false

12.5.4.49 ShowHiddenCells

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_SSSHOWHIDDENCELLS

This option lets you determine whether or not to show hidden rows or columns when rendering spreadsheets. It is used to expand the widths of cells that are hidden by virtue of having their row height or column width reduced to 0. This is a Boolean option that will leave the data hidden when it is FALSE, and show all hidden rows and columns when it is TRUE, displayed using the default row width or default column height.

Data Type

boolean

Default

false

12.5.4.50 ShowHiddenSpreadSheetData

The setting for this option determines whether or not hidden data (hidden columns, rows or sheets) in a spreadsheet will be included in the output. When set to false (the default), the hidden elements are not written. When set to true, they are placed in the output in the same manner as regular spreadsheet data.

Data Type

boolean

Default

false

12.5.4.51 StrictFile

When an embedded file or URL can't be opened with the full path, OutsideIn will sometimes try and open the referenced file from other locations, including the current directory. When this option is set, it will prevent OutsideIn from trying to open the file from any location other than the fully qualified path or URL.

Data Type

boolean

Default

false

12.5.4.52 TIFFByteOrder

This option determines the byte order used within the file.

Data

  • BIGENDIAN: This will use big-endian (Motorola) byte ordering.

  • LITTLEENDIAN: This will use little-endian (Intel) byte ordering (this is the default value for this parameter).

12.5.4.53 TIFFColorSpace

This option allows the developer to control the TIFF color depth and color options.

Data Type

TIFFColorSpaceValue

TIFFColorSpaceValue Enumeration

  • BLKWHITE: 1 bit black and white

  • PALETTE8BIT: 8 bit palette

  • RGB24BIT: 24 bit RGB (this is the default value for this parameter)

12.5.4.54 TIFFCompression

This option will specify the type of compression used in the TIFF file that is generated.

Data

  • NONE

  • PACKBITS

  • LZW

  • CCITT_1D

  • CCITT_GROUP3

  • CCITT_GROUP4

12.5.4.55 TIFFFillOrder

This option determines the fill order used within the file. The value of this element only affects TIFF output when the TIFFCompression option is set to CCITT_GROUP3 and the TIFFColorSpace element is set to BLKWHITE.

Data Type

TIFFFillOrderValue

TIFFFillOrderValue Enumeration

The following set of flags:

  • FILESTORE: TIFF files intended for file stores

  • TRANSMISSION: TIFF files intended for electronic transmission (example fax)

Default

FILESTORE

12.5.4.56 TIFFMultiPage

This allows the developer to specify whether the output creates a single multi-page TIFF file or individual single page files. When this flag is true, the output of multiple pages from one input document will generate a single file with a separate image for each page converted.

Data Type

boolean

Default

false

12.5.4.57 TimeZoneOffset

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_TIMEZONE

This option allows the user to define an offset to GMT that will be applied during date formatting, allowing date values to be displayed in a selectable time zone. This option affects the formatting of numbers that have been defined as date values. This option will not affect dates that are stored as text.

Note:

Daylight savings is not supported. The sent time in msg files when viewed in Outlook can be an hour different from the time sent when an image of the msg file is created.

Data Type

long

Data

Integer parameter from -96 to 96, representing 15-minute offsets from GMT. To query the operating system for the time zone set on the machine, specify SCC_TIMEZONE_USENATIVE.

Default

  • 0: GMT time

12.5.4.58 TransparencyColor

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_GRAPHIC_TRANSPARENCYCOLOR

This option allows the user to set the color used as the "transparency color" in the output graphic file. Naturally, this option is only used when the selected output graphic file format supports transparency (GIF and PNG only). If the option is not set, the default behavior is to use the same color value that the input file used as the transparency color.

Use the (r, g, b) macro to create the color value to pass to this option. The red, green and blue values are percentages of the color from 0-255 (with 255 being 100%). Note that this macro should be used to set a variable and that variable should then be passed to the set option routine (instead of trying to use the macro as part of the set option call directly).

Since there is no way to "unset" an option once it has been set, the developer may set the option to DefaultTransparencyColor if they wish to revert to the default behavior.

Class members:

byte Red

byte Green

byte Blue

Data

ColorInfo

Default

  • new ColorInfo(): Use the same tranparency color as the source document.

12.5.4.59 UnmappableCharacter

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_UNMAPPABLECHAR

This option selects the character used when a character cannot be found in the output character set. This option takes the Unicode value for the replacement character. It is left to the user to make sure that the selected replacement character is available in the output character set.

Data Type

int

Data

The Unicode value for the character to use.

Default

  • 0x002a = "*"

12.5.4.60 UseDocumentPageSettings

OIT Option ID: SCCOPT_USEDOCPAGESETTINGS

This option is used to select the document's page layout information when rendering.

If true, the document's native (or author selected) page margins, paper size, page scaling and page orientation are used when available from the filter.

The values of the DefaultPageMargins, RenderGridlines, RenderHeadings, PageDirection, and PageFitMode options are overridden if this option is set to TRUE and the properties associated with those options are specified in the input document. Additionally, print area and page breaks in spreadsheet documents are ignored unless this option is set to true.

If false, the page margins, size, orientation and scaling are set to specific values rather than those in the native document. The page size is forced to 8 1/2" x 11" in portrait orientation, but this may be changed by setting the GraphicHeight and/or GraphicWidth options. The margins are forced 1" all around, but may be changed by setting the defaultMargins option. The scaling for the document will be set to 100%, although this may be changed by setting any of the various scaling options.

It should be noted that this option also affects page orientation for both input spreadsheets and word processing documents.

Data Type

boolean

Default

true

12.6 ExportStatus Class

The ExportStatus class provides access to information about a conversion. This information may include information about sub-document failures, areas of a conversion that may not have high fidelity with the original document. When applicable the number of pages in the output is also provided.
