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.
Signature
If you wish to insert a digital signature into your TIF document (optional), select the desired signature type:
For more information about digital signatures please refer to chapter see the section on Digital signature, in chapter CROSSCAP Multi-Client
JPEG factor
Sets the compression factor for JPEG. The default value is 75.
Monochrome compression
Sets the compression mode for monochrome images (FaxG4 or None).
Gray scale compression
Sets the compression mode for gray scale images (LZW, JPEG or None).
Color compression
Sets the compression mode for color images (LZW, JPEG or None).
Ignore blank pages
Turn this function on (checkbox ticked) if you wish to omit blank pages from export.
Ignore monochrome pages, Ignore gray scale pages, Ignore color pages
Specifically applies to multistream mode. If any of these three filters are set to on (checkbox ticked), then this export option is turned off for the respective page type. Please note that combining all three options Ignore monochrome pages, Ignore gray scale pages and Ignore color pages will effectively turn off execution all together, since there are no images left to process.
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.
Artist, Copyright, Document name, Image description (separate options)
Data entered here will be embedded as TIF metadata.
In addition to fixed text, you may use any other of the available variables (such as date/time, calendar week, batch counter) for generating these entries. For more and detailed information on variables please refer to the separate section on Variables, in the Appendix.
Subdirectory (separate option)
Exporting into a file system may be performed using a dynamic directory structure, which can be constructed from a multitude of variables.
You may use any of the available variables (such as date/time, calendar week, batch counter and/or fixed text) for generating the subdirectory. For more and detailed information on variables please refer to the separate section on Variables, in the Appendix.
Filename (separate option)
Filenames may be dynamically composed from a multitude of strings and variables.
You may use any of the available variables (such as date/time, calendar week, batch counter and/or fixed text) for generating the file name. For more and detailed information on variables please refer to the separate section on Variables, in the Appendix.
For further information on controlling file output, please refer to the Appendix, section on Single- and multipage export.
Image processing (separate option)
In addition to performing image processing on incoming images, it is also possible to modify output files. Each export format may be individually processed using a subset of the full toolset described in the section on Image processing. Use this option if one or more export formats need to be modified selectively.
The tools available during export are as follows:
Border removal, Color conversion, Deskew, Despeckle, Flip Image, Frame page, Invert, Line removal, Punch hole removal, Rotate Image, Scale resolution.
