Windchill PLM - Document Preview on Infomation page

[TP_10568563]

is it possible to create a preview for a document e.g. (PDF). This would be similar to a preview for CAD documents.

Yes, if its a PDF, you can use a Thumbnail worker. I also have it publishing office docs to create the PDF and thumbnail. You can configure this with a Doc worker.

Hi @TP_10568563 

If the PDF is an attachment usually the thumbnail is generated by a worker and I have just CreoWorker not DocWorker.

I wrote some utility for our customer to generate PDF from office files and it works perfectly.

Does your utility handle Visio?

Hello,

Please publish this files. you'll be able to see in thumbnail and view in Creo view.

To publish PDF configure the Dummy worker. This will resolve the issue.

I have forgotten to mention that the  wvs.properties has to be set with correct dummy configuration
