4.3 Choosing a Proper File Format
The file format that you have selected determined the file
format for the scanned image of your document.
To select a proper file format,
From the Button Properties window, choose your ideal file
format for the specific button number. Choice includes BMP,
JPEG, TIFF, GIF and PDF.
BMP:
BMP is the standard Windows image format on DOS and
Windows-compatible computers. The BMP format supports RGB,
indexed-color, grayscale, and Bitmap color modes.
TIFF:
TIFF (The Tagged-Image File Format) is a flexible bitmap image
format supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and
page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop scanners
can produce TIFF images.
JPEG:
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compression provides
the best results with continuous-tone color and the smallest file
size.
GIF :
GIF displays a maximum of 256 colors, which makes it
unsuitable for pictures with continuous colors. Its application is
best for color clip art, black-and-white line drawings, or images
with large blocks of solid colors.
PDF :
PDF(Portable Document Format) is a very popular file format
used by Adobe. You can view PDF files using Adobe Acrobat or
Adobe Reader.
