Force Rendition Generation

imran — Thu, 29 Oct 2015 11:05:34 GMT

Hello Experts,I see in alfresco the PDF renditions are lazily generated when user tries to preview a document from share UI.Is there a way to force the repository auto generate the renditions after document creation or update rather than on preview? Could you please share your ides?

You can create a folder rule to execute a javascript.
In your javascript file, you can ask Alfresco to generate the thumbnail or the preview.

The code you need is:
document.createThumbnail("doclib");
or
document.createThumbnail("webpreview");

FYI, I have written a few extra notes about generating thumbnails in Alfresco 5.0.d in the following post - might be relevant to you ..
