Hi List

For a long time we have been uploading PDFs to our site, we use the image tag to create a thumbnail of the pdf. Up to now, this has been working fine.

This is the actual command line - although it's nothing special.

var('thePDF') = Image($path + $OriginalName);

We have tried uploading just a 6Mb file and after a minute or so we get.

"Lasso Connector could not communicate with Lasso Service.
Connection timed out."

The special thing about this particular PDF is that it's over 400 pages long.

Looking at c:\windows\temp on the server, we can see imagemagick creating hundreds of files. When its finished (timed-out), the file suddenly disappear.

My theory is that imagemagick is thumbnail-ing each page, then eventually timing out. It actually seems to nearly finish, so I put

Lasso_ExecutionTimeLimit: 0 ;

- as the first line in my .lasso file, but it made no difference whatsoever, in fact I don't think "Lasso_ExecutionTimeLimit" actually does anything.

Is there anything, I can do to either get it to thumbnail just the front cover, or get it to run a little longer?

Any help appreciated.

Jon
