The Tagged Image File Format (TIFF or TIF) is a file format for storing image data. TIFF was originally developed by Aldus (taken over in 1994 by Adobe) and Microsoft for color separation in scanned bitmapped graphics. TIFF files have the MIME type image/tiff. The default file extension is .tif.

Description

Artist, Copyright, Document name, Image description

Data entered here will be embedded as TIFF metadata. 

Filter

Ignore blank pages

If set to On, export is turned off for all blank pages.

 

Ignore monochrome pages

If set to On, export is turned off for all monochrome pages created in multistream mode.

 

Ignore gray scale pages

If set to On, export is turned off for all gray scale pages created in multistream mode.

 

Ignore color pages

If set to On, export is turned off for all color pages created in multistream mode.

 

Please note that checking all three options Ignore monochrome pages, Ignore gray scaled pages and Ignore color pages will effectively turn export completely off, since there are no images left to process.

 

Ignore cover pages

This setting will exclude any cover pages, from export.

 

Maximum pages per file

If multi-page output is created (see Single- and Multi-page Export, in the appendix), this setting will limit the size of the files created. Whenever the number of pages specified here is reached, a new output file will be automatically created and the file name of the new output file will be appended with the Export-Split-counter suffix.

 

Image processing

Image processing

In addition to performing image processing on all incoming images, it is also possible to selectively modify output files. Each export format may be individually processed using a subset of the full toolset described in the section on Image Processing.

The image processing tools available during export are as follows: 
Border removal, Color conversion, Color detection, Digital print, Deskew, Despeckle, Flip, Frame page, Invert, Line removal, Punch hole removal, Rotate, Scale resolution.

Output

JPEG factor

Sets the compression factor for JPEG. The standard is 75.

 

Monochrome compression

Sets the compression mode for monochrome images (None or FaxG4).

 

Gray scale compression

Sets the compression for gray scale images (None, LZW or JPEG).

 

Color compression

Sets the compression for color images (None, LZW or JPEG).

 

Embed profiles

If ICC profile data is supplied by the scanner, this setting will decide whether such profiles are either embedded into exported files (and ignored, otherwise) or applied to image data, prior to export (On will embed ICC profiles, Off will apply ICC profile data).

 

Signature

Selecting one of the detached entries will result in separate image and signature files, selecting one of the embedded entries will use the signature file as a container for the image file.

For more information about digital signatures see the chapter on Digital Signature.

 

Signature file extension

Replace the default signature file extension (*.p7s or *.pk7) with a file extension of your choice.                

 

Subdirectory

Exporting into a file system may be performed using a dynamic directory structure, which can be constructed from a multitude of strings and variables.

 

Filename

Filenames may be dynamically composed from a multitude of strings and variables. This file-format can be exported as multi- and single-image file. Please refer to the section on Single- and Multipage Export, in the appendix.

 

File extension

You may change the default file extension to your liking. Please note, however, that this may interfere with other applications and your operating system.
