Where is the Alfresco PDF Preview saved?

kockiren — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:14:16 GMT

Hi @all,when i click to the info Button next to the Filename in a Workspace there is shown a Preview of the PDF File, but i can't find this Preview in the Database or in the Filesystem, anybody know where it will be generated? I found the script tomcat/webapps/share/components/preview/web-preview.js

In the Database there is a entry for every node_child object (foreach Document) but where is the content saved? If Lucene make a searchindex this engine must find the stored Content, but where?

Any suggestions? If this the wrong Forum, give feedback for the right one, please.

Yes you are in the wrong forum…

But to answer your question the content will either be in the content store as a rendition of the source document or it will only exist in memory as required.

Hey mrogers,

thx for answer my Question. What Forum will be the right one for my thread and how can i move it to there?

The Content in clear-text will never stored to db but only in the binary Files in the Contentstore? Today i add tesseract ocr support for tif Files, and now i get clear-text for nonreadable PDFs (saved as Tifs) and now i want to write a interface for importing clear-text data into another database, for this i need the store-place of this clear-text Data.

Any suggestion or a ref to a manual 🙂

Regards
Rene

It's not quite clear to me what you are after, and I have no claim to being an expert. It _sound_ like you are wanting the doc preview of a PDF? The generated-preview is a flash object - swf - and I'm not sure what you can do with that, if anything. Anyway, pretty sure that the document (e.g. PDF) as well as the flash-preview and the thumbnail are all stored in the repository. You should be able to track it via the node-browser… "alfresco" interface, Administration console, Node browser… workspace:://SpacesStore/buncha-numbers-and-letters/… down to "children" and drill down to the space/site the doc in question is… select the document… as children nodes there are "doclib" and "webpreview". Dunno if that helps you.
