Ghostscript Commands

PDF to TIFF Conversion

gswin64c.exe -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=tiffscaled24 -sCompression=lzw -dBATCH -sOutputFile=”<output_tiff_filename>-%04d.tif” “<input_pdf_file_path>”

Example:

gswin64c.exe -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=tiffscaled24 -sCompression=lzw -dBATCH -sOutputFile=”F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\mailroom-import-copy1\multipage-pdf-pdf-1407824575554\multipage-pdf-%04d.tif” “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\mailroom-import-copy1\multipage-pdf-pdf-1407824575554\multipage-pdf.pdf”

PDF Optimization

gswin64c.exe -q -dNODISPLAY -P- -dSAFER -dDELAYSAFER — pdfopt.ps “<input_pdf_file_path>” “<output_pdf_file_path>”

Example:

gswin64c.exe -q -dNODISPLAY -P- -dSAFER -dDELAYSAFER — pdfopt.ps “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI25\tempfile_BI25_documentDOC1.pdf” “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI25\BI25_documentDOC1.pdf”

ImageMagick Commands

Convert.exe <conversion_param> “<input_file_path>” “<output_file_path>”

TIFF to TIFF Conversion

Example:

Convert.exe -limit area 100mb “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\mailroom-import-copy2\us-invoice\US-Invoice.tif” -compress LZW “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\mailroom-import-copy2\us-invoice\US-Invoice-%04d.tif”

TIFF to PNG Conversion

Example:

Convert.exe “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI23\BI23_0.tif” -colorspace gray -alpha off “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI23\BI23_PG0.png”

Example:

Convert.exe “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI23\BI23_0.tif” -colorspace rgb -thumbnail 200×150 “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI23\BI23_PG0_displayThumb.png”

Colored TIFF to PDF Conversion

Example:

Convert.exe test.tif -quality 100.0 -compress LZW out.pdf

Non-colored TIFF to PDF Conversion

Example:

Convert.exe test.tif -quality 100.0 -monochrome -compress LZW out.pdf

PDF to TIFF Conversion

Example:

Convert.exe -limit area 100mb “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\BC4\test-classification\multipage-pdf.pdf” -compress LZW “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\BC4\test-classification\multipage-pdf-%04d.tif”

Note: To use ImageMagick to convert from PDF to TIFF, you will need to copy the gs32bit files to the gs directory path. Alternatively, this path can be overridden in <Ephesoft_Directory>\Dependencies\ImageMagick\delegates.xml by replacing the following parameter with the complete gs.exe path:

@PSDelegate@

Tesseract HOCR Command

TesseractConsole.exe “<input_TIFF_file_path>” “<output_html_file_path_without_.html_extension>” “-l eng” +”<hocr.txt_file_path>”

Example:

TesseractConsole.exe ”F:\\Ephesoft31\\Application/native/Tesseract-OCR\TesseractConsole.exe” “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI29\BI29_5.tif” “F:\Ephesoft31\SharedFolders\ephesoft-system-folder\BI29\BI29_PG5” “-l eng” +”F:\\Ephesoft31\\Application/native/Tesseract-OCR\hocr.txt”

ZXing Command to Extract Barcode Value

Note: ZXing is only applicable to PNG files, and will not work with TIFF files.
