How To: Save to an Image File (TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, Raster PDF, etc.)

LEADTOOLS ePrint Professional lets you save raster images such as TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, non-searchable PDF, BMP, etc.

To use the ePrint 6 printer, perform the following steps:

1.

While viewing a file in an application that supports printing, select File ➔ Print.

2.

When the Print dialog appears select "LEADTOOLS ePrint 6" from the Select Printer list and click OK.

3.

The LEADTOOLS ePrint Save As dialog will appear.

 

To use the ePrint Workstation, perform the following steps:

1.

Open a document in your preferred application that supports printing and select File ➔ Print

2.

When the "Print" dialog appears, select "LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation" and click Print.

3.

The LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation will open with the printed document loaded into the work area as a print job for editing.

4.

From within the LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation application, choose File ➔ Save As

 

After you get to the Save As dialog, whether you are using the ePrint Printer or the ePrint Workstation the steps are the same.

The example below describes how to save an image file to a raster format (in this case, non-searchable PDF).

To save a file as a raster PDF file type:

1.

Select "Image Formats" from the File type list.

2.

Select "PDF (*.pdf)" from the Save as list.

3.

Click Options to show the Raster Images Files Save As Options dialog.

4.

Select the desired Color Depth. If you are not certain which to use, select "True Color (24 bit)".

 

Note: Color Depth represents the bits per pixel, which is the number of bits that will be used to store information about a particular pixel in the image. The bits per pixel correlates to how many unique values of color levels are available to describe the pixel. When using 24 bits per pixel, 16.7 million colors are available and this format is least likely to compromise the output quality.

5.

Now click OK to save the options.

6.

Now click Save to save raster PDF file.

Note: Multi-page GIF files are created as animated GIFs and are not viewable in applications that can only display static GIFs.
