[suggestion] Setting up saving thumbnail when converting to .docx

Post by Jensen Head »

I suggest adding the "Include Thumbnail" item to the "Options" list in the "Export PDF to Microsoft Word Document" ("MS Word File") tool. Currently the list of settings contains only the following items:
  • (Language)
  • (Fonts)
  • (Layout)
  • Use OCR to fix garbled text in output files
  • Make invisible text visible in output document
  • Detect Tables
  • Include Comments
  • Include Images
  • Include Links

This will allow users to slightly reduce the size of the document when this option is disabled, or provide a more visual appearance of the document in Windows File Explorer as a preview of the first page if it is enabled.

Hello Jensen Head,

I will ask our devs to consider this, however I can not make any promises.
Is the thumbnail that much of a file increase for you?

Kind regards,
Stefan
