Supported Files for Imaging Processes

Some imaging processes work on a select number of file types. Dispatcher Stratus supports any image format supported by Windows Imaging Components (WIC). These file formats include the following:

  • PDF
  • BMP
  • GIF
  • JPG
  • PNG
  • TIFF

Notes:

  • Since WIC can support additional formats through the use of codecs, Dispatcher Stratus has the potential to support many more image formats. However, these additional file types have not undergone thorough testing for use with Dispatcher Stratus and results may be unpredictable.

  • Unsupported file types coming into image processing nodes will produce an error message.

Node Order in Workflow

Make sure that the nodes are placed in the correct order within your workflow to ensure that it runs correctly. For example, if you want your documents to be renamed with OCR metadata, ensure that a node that outputs metadata is placed before the Rename node in the workflow.
