TIFF Exporting to Perceptive Content in Wrong Orientation

Documents exported from Slate to Perceptive Content were all coming through as portrait format, even when they should be landscape. The school wanted to continue using TIFF format because Perceptive Content cannot annotate PDF's.

Settings:

  • Query Base: Configurable Joins - Document
  • Format: Document Export v2
  • Archive: ZIP
  • Document Type: TIFF (multi-page)
  • DPI: 600
  • Pixel Depth: 1 (black and white)
  • Compression: CCITT
  • Index Format: No Index File

Based on this tip, we replaced the standard pdf:xml export with a custom SQL export that uses the 'internal' mode. Documents are now exported in the same orientation as appears in Slate.

(select doc__JID_.[record] as [@id], 'internal' as [@mode], doc__JID_.[scope] as [@scope], doc__JID_.[xml] as [node()] for xml path('batch'), type)
