@TIMAI2 It does not work on companion.

Example

[TIMAI2]

You need to restart your companion app and your AI2, then try again.

Working just fine here, even in my emulator (genymotion)

[JunkoJoseph]

There is a bug where I get a black outline And if the image is to big it does not fit the entire image.

You could add Length and width parameters...

[TIMAI2]

Provide examples of your pdfs

[JunkoJoseph]

Example.pdf (5.4 KB)

[JunkoJoseph]

Possibly could use: [FREE] Image Cropper Extension: Crop image in fixed and free ratio
Make some edits and crop out the black.

[TIMAI2]

Can't find any solutions for mishapen pages.

[JunkoJoseph]

Are you able to make the black lines become white? That would be helpful at least. Not perfect though.

[TIMAI2]

No, I cannot see a way.

Perhaps try one of the other two solutions linked above ?

@JunkoJoseph

Update Version 2

Got rid of the black bars/outline!

Thanks

[JunkoJoseph]

you get another

@JunkoJoseph

And if the image is to big it does not fit the entire image

Is there still an issue with this ?

[JunkoJoseph]

Yes. But i currently don't require images of that size. But i see that other people are clicking on the link so it would be useful to change.

[TIMAI2]

example?

[JunkoJoseph]

I was just grabbing the file, I was just zoomed weird. Here's a working file:

[TIMAI2]

That is an image not a pdf, or is that the output from the extension, in which case there is no issue ?
