How to convert images to transparent GIF using custom task in MediaBin?

Can someone throw ideas on how to convert an image (png, eps, etc...) into a Transparent GIF using MediaBin custom tasks? I am looking for ways to make the image transparent.

Thanks for your help.

Prior to MB 4.6 this is done by using the AGS Encoder primitive. As of MediaBin 4.6 it is a built-in feature of the GIF encoder.

1) Your MBDataDirectory should have a subdirectory called:

"AGS Command Files" (if not, create one).

This is where the server will expect the script to be placed. Here's an attempt (it may have typos):

Full details are in the CommandsReference.pdf in the documentation directory of your AGS installation. Note that the MediaBin specific elements are the keywords "InFile", "OutFile", and it is compulsory to add "appendExtension="false".

By substituting real filenames for InFile and OutFile, one can test AGS completely outside MediaBin.
