When it comes to scanning PDF files, can the Ricoh SmartSDK generate a preview and get the page count?
The process for creating PDF files has not changed from SDK/J. When a scan job is performed and the files are converted to PDF files it goes through the following process:
Scan files are converted to Ricoh Original -> then to JPEG -> lastly PDF (As long as the device has the postscript option)
Within the scan job you may create thumbnail images that are in JPEG format that would allow you to preview the scanned pages.
As far as the page count in a PDF, your application will be able to track this as each page is converted successfully.
