How to Change the Resolution for an Image on a Template

Overview

There are times when you will create a template for a client that contains many images including header, footers and side bars.  If you import these images from another spot, for example a Word document, often times the images and resulting template will be very large in size. This large size will cause slowness when attempting to open and save the document in the ITC as well as creating potential slowness issues for clients when they are utilizing the Secure Web Portal.

One way to improve this situation is by decreasing the DPI of these images.  This can be done in a way that will reduce the overall size of the image/document storage requirements but will not cause quality issues with the printed document.  The InfraWare Template Editor has a built in feature that allows you to edit various image properties including the DPI of the image.

Tasks

To edit the resolution, use the following steps:

•  Open the template that contains the large images in the ITE
•  Double Click on the image in the ITE making sure that a box shows up around the image containing handles to stretch the image
•  Click Format --> Image  (found at the top of the ITE)
•  Choose the "Saving Options" tab found on the resulting window
•  At the bottom, change the Resolution dpi number to a lower number. 120 should be an adequate DPI
•  Press OK and SAVE your template
