About PReS Image

PReS Image is a multi-threaded service that can generate image files in PDF, JPEG and TIFF format. As PReS Workflow and PReS 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 PReS Image Output task or a Digital Action task, sent via email. Note that you can use PReS Search, another program included in PReS Workflow, to search through archived PDF files.

All raster images, such as GIFs or JPEGs, generated by PReS Image are portrait oriented.

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

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

Preferences

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