Configure Accusoft Rasterization

Rasterization enables faster file rendering. The Prizm Raster Conversion service converts a file to a Raster format, typically JPEG. If rasterization is not used, the files are converted to an SVG format, a default format for most other document types.

Note: The rasterization of files is disabled by default, in a new Accusoft installation. Even though this setting is enabled by default for DWG files on the AIM Dashboard web server, you must enable this setting on the Accusoft server, to allow rasterization of the configured file types.

Enabling Rasterization

To enable rasterization:

1. Access the following default path:

   C:\Prizm

2. Open the prizm-services-config.yml file.

3. Look for the following property:

   # viewing.sessionConstraints.render.alwaysUseRaster.allowedValues: [false]

4. Remove # and the single space:

   viewing.sessionConstraints.render.alwaysUseRaster.allowedValues: [false, true]

5. Restart Prizm and Prizm Application Services.

   Rasterization is now enabled on the Accusoft server, and all the configured file types will be displayed as a rastered image instead of as an SVG format.

   Important: After enabling rasterization, to control if a file is rastered or not, you must modify the pccc.config file on the AIM Dashboard web server.

Configuring Rasterization

To configure rasterization:

6. Go to the following default location: C:\inetpub\Dashboard

7. Open the pcc.config file.

8. Add the file types to be rasterized, separated by a comma.

   <EnableRasterTypes>dwg,pdf</EnableRasterTypes>

9. To reset IIS, select Start, and then run IISRESET.

Configuring Accusoft PrizmDoc Timeout Settings (Optional)

You may need to increase the default timeout values, to allow more time for PrizmDoc to complete various operations. For more information, refer to the Prizm help file or visit: https://help.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/v13.27/HTML/configure-the-prizmdoc-server.html

To configure timeout values (large files rasterization):

10. Go to the following default location:

    C:\Prizm\PCCIS\ServiceHost\pcc.config

11. Open the pcc.config file of the PCCIS service.

12. For the following properties, increase the respective default values to:

    • PageInteractiveTimeout: 120000

    • DocumentInteractiveTimeout: 300000

    • DocumentAcquisitionTimeout: 120000

    • InternalOperationTimeout: 300000

13. Restart Prizm and Prizm Application Services.
