To enable image manipulation in SkyVault, you must
install and configure ImageMagick. SkyVault uses ImageMagick
to manipulate images for previewing.
-
Verify that ImageMagick, Ghostscript, and Ghostscript fonts are already installed on
your system.
Use the ImageMagick convert command to check that you have the right software installed on your machine. This command is usually located in /usr/bin.
install Image
-
If ImageMagick and Ghostscript software is not available on your system, download and
install the appropriate package for your platform.
To download ImageMagick, browse to ImageMagick download website.
To download Ghostscript, browse to Ghostscript download website.
Note: In next steps you will make changes to the SkyVault application configuration files to enable the manually installed ImageMagick application. These steps can only be performed after SkyVault has been installed. - Browse to the <classpathRoot> directory. See System paths for more information.
- Open the SkyVault-global.properties file.
-
Modify the ImageMagick properties to point to the ImageMagick root directory.
Property Description img.root On Windows, set this property to img.root=/ImageMagick. On Linux, set this property to img.root=/ImageMagick.
Note: Do not include a slash (/) at the end of the path. For example, /ImageMagick/img.exe On Windows, set this property to img.exe=/{img.root}/convert.exe. On Linux, set this property to img.exe=/ImageMagick/bin/convert.exe.
Note: Test that you are able to convert a PDF using the command convert filename.pdf[0] filename.png.
