E-Printing and TIFF / PDF Conversion
Contents
You can use the e-print batch process to print native files to paper.
You can use the TIFF/PDF conversion batch process to convert native files to TIFF images or PDF files, or to reprocess files that are already in TIFF or PDF format. In the process of converting native files to TIFF images or PDF files the application displayed in the SourceApp field for each record is used to convert the native document to a TIFF image or PDF file. For example, if Microsoft Word is the value in SourceApp, then Microsoft Word will be used to convert the document. The selected SourceApp must be installed on the computer in order to be used for TIFF/PDF Conversion. See the Output Settings for E-Print and TIFF/PDF Conversion section for information about native application options and TIFF and PDF printer settings. For a list of source applications and supported file types, see Supported File Types.
This process uses the LAW Image Driver, LAW Image Driver 300 DPI, or Informatik Image Printer to convert the selected files to TIFF images. Version 7 of the Peernet Image Printer is also supported for TIFF/PDF conversions, but must be purchased directly from Peernet. The easyPDF SDK 7 print driver is used to convert the selected files to PDF files. All PDF files generated by the TIFF/PDF Conversion are searchable, web-optimized PDF files.

Some MSG files with large inline images are not able to re-size the image to fit the page when tiffing or printing via batch processing. This issue is by design, because this is a limitation of the source applications not auto-sizing the images during the tiffing\printing process. |

To view page data (PageSize, PageWidth, PageHeight) in the index or grid view after converting PDFs to TIFFs using batch processing, you must run the Update Page Data batch process. See Updating Page Data for details. |
