Argus OPI TIFF Image Extraction Sample Configuration

Config File

• imageConfigs/opitiff.cfg
  Extracts images from the PDF and saves each image as an individual TIFF file. The name of each image file is derived from the OPI data in the PDF thus, if present, the original image file name will be preserved. A text document is also output which contains all OPI dictionary data for each image. This particular configuration scales the images to fit a box of 300x200 pixels - you would probably wish to disable any scaling if you wish to extract high resolution images from a PDF.
