  • This component cannot process PDF files of size greater than 2 GB. This is the restriction of the LeadTools™ technologies used by this component. It is recommended to use compression when you process PDF documents.
  • Since the LeadTools™ rasterizes PDF and other vector format files, the output file can be much bigger in size than the input file.
  • VIP does not support vector-specific transformations and saving in vector formats. If you plan to process vector images via VIP, you have to configure conversion to one of supported raster formats.
  • Some vector formats such as DWF, DWG can contain definitions of 3D objects. VIP does not perform any 3D transformation of the input images, so the resulting image will contain a projection of 3D model to default plane.
  • LeadTools opens PCL files as black and white images even if they are colored.
  • LeadTools opens only the first page of multipage PS/EPS file, and it’s not possible to process such files via VIP. See: http://support.leadtools.com/SupportPortal/CS/forums/34924/ShowPost.aspx.
  • Not all formats have a multipage support. If the component receives a multipage document and converts it to another format that does not support multipage documents, the component will generate a separate output document for each page of the input document. These documents will have the same name as the input document but with an index; for example, inputdocname_1.jpg, inputdocname_2.jpg. 
  • Multipage PCT images are not supported. All pages of the multipage PCT image will be lost except for the last one.
