ImageMagick for PTC FlexPLM
This section provides instructions to enable the image generation feature of PTC FlexPLM.
The image generation feature automatically creates thumbnails and web-viewable images for Document types and other object types. It allows the Images Page document type to reference other document and image objects and decrease the overall component page size. This feature reduces the need to perform multiple image uploads to define thumbnails, high-quality images, and low-quality web-viewable images by automatically converting and scaling artwork when it is uploaded by the designer.
Image generation depends on the installation of third-party software. The software must be installed on each application server that is part of the installation and runtime environment.
Image generation supports the following:
• Vector file formats such as PDF, Photoshop, and single page Adobe Illustrator documents
• Raster file formats such as .GIF, .JPG, .BMP, and .PNG images
|
|
• TIFF is a raster file format, but is not a web-viewable image type.
• JPG files with CMYK color profiles are not viewable with older browsers, such as IE 8. As a best practice, avoid using JPG files with CMYK color profiles.
