ImageExtractor.jar (ImageExtractor.bat)

The ImageExtractor is a Java utility that enables you to convert individually stored images contained in existing field display properties to AR System shared images. Shared images are server objects that you can manage in Developer Studio.

The utility can convert all images associated with a specified set of forms, or all images in the database, to shared images and image references. The utility uses an image checksum to identify images already present in the server. If an image is found, that reference is used. Otherwise, a shared image object is created.

The ImageExtractor.jar utility is installed with the AR System server. On Windows, a batch file (ImageExtractor.bat) is provided to ensure the correct environment settings are configured when you run the utility. Both files are in the ARServerInstallDir\api\lib directory. On UNIX, ImageExtractor.java is in the ARServerInstallDir/api/JavaDriver/ directory.
