Default DPI for PDF Documents Imported Using Software Import

ISSUE


When importing PDF documents into Capture using Software Import and the option to treat imported PDFs as TIF images enabled, Kofax will convert the PDF to a TIF image with a default resolution (DPI) of 200. This may reduce the quality of the resulting image depending on the original DPI.


SOLUTION


Implementing the following changes will allow you to update the default DPI of the resulting TIF image converted from an imported PDF.



  1. Find the file named ModConfig.ini in C:\ProgramData\Kofax\Vrs directory. If it does not exist, create it.
  2. Edit the file so that it contains the following:
[KDLWrapper]

MINRENDERINGDPI=300 

 3. Then, find the VRSInputDefaults.ini file in the same directory.

 4. Edit the "scanzoom" setting to 300 (or your preferred DPI, keeping in mind resulting file size).
