Changing Default Generation Settings

Change default settings for Corda® images and Highwire™ documents using the Corda Server™ Administrator. Options include the following:

Default Image Format

When you first install Corda 7, Corda Server assumes that unless instructed otherwise, it should generate Corda images in FLASH format (using the outputType = "FLASH"; Corda Embedder attribute).

Change the default format for Corda images in Corda Server Administrator.

To change the default image format

  1. Log in to Corda Server Administrator.

    If you do not know how to do this, see Using Corda Server Administrator.

  2. Using the menu on the left, go to the Server Settings > Image Type screen.

  3. From the Default Image Type pull-down menu, select an image type.

    The default image format can be SVG*, Flash*, or JPEG. For other formats, override the format manually, using the outputType Corda Embedder attribute, or by changing the <Server.defaultOutputType> setting in the <product_root>\Server\config\server_config.txt file.

  4. Click the Submit Changes button.

  5. Restart Corda Server.

    If you do not know how to do this, see Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Corda Server.

    For more information about image formats, see Image Formats in the Corda Builder™ User Guide.

Automatic PNG Detection

When Automatic PNG Detection is enabled, Corda Server automatically detects whether or not a client supports PNG images. If this feature is enabled, a client can request an image of the type AUTO. If the client supports the PNG format, Corda Server returns a PNG image. Otherwise, Corda Server returns a JPEG image.

By default, this feature is enabled.

To enable or disable Automatic PNG Detection

  1. Log in to Corda Server Administrator.

    If you do not know how to do this, see Using Corda Server Administrator.

  2. Using the menu on the left, go to the Server Settings > Image Type screen.

  3. Check the Auto PNG Images box.

  4. Click the Submit Changes button.

  5. Restart Corda Server.

    If you do not know how to do this, see Stopping, Starting, and Restarting the Corda Server.

JPEG Image Quality

Change the compression/quality level for JPEG Corda images generated by Corda Server, as well as JPEG images embedded in Highwire documents.

To change JPEG image quality

  1. Log in to Corda Server Administrator.

    If you do not know how to do this, see Using Corda Server Administrator.

  2. Using the menu on the left, go to the Server Settings > Advanced Settings screen.

  3. In the JPEG Quality box, enter a number between 0-10.

    0 is the highest compression and lowest image quality. 10 is the lowest compression and highest image quality.

  4. Click the Submit Changes button.

  5. Restart Corda Server.
