independent format. It is used in many digitizing projects as the format of choice for
the digital masters. The TIFF Group 3 and Group 4 formats are efficient for
document storage.
l
The AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture formats also generate TIFF files along
with special XML that are meant for these specialized systems.
l
VDX: The output will be a VDX file, which is a PDF file with some PPML code
inside of it to enhance performance by doing caching/image reusing. The output can
only be used on devices that support the VDX technology.
l
DPI: Enter the dots per inch (dpi) resolution of the output image. This property is enabled
for all output types except PDF.
l
Color depth: Enter the color depth of the output image in bits per pixel (bpp). The color
depth is measured in bits, because each pixel of the output image can be described with
a varied number of bits. A higher bit number allows for more colors. It also increases the
image file size. A 1-bit color depth produces monochrome images. 8-bits produce
grayscale images (in PlanetPress Design you can have 8-bit color images, but these are
reduced to grayscale if you select 8-bit here), while 24-bits produce full color images. For
JPEG output, you cannot select a monochrome (1 bpp) color depth. For TIFF G3 and
TIFF G4, monochrome (1 bpp) is the only Color depth option you can select. This property
is enabled for all output types except PDF.
l
Multi-page: Select to generate a single file containing multiple pages. When this option is
not selected, PlanetPress Image creates a file for each page included in the output file.
This property is enabled for all output types except PDF and JPEG.
Add page number: Select to put a page number on each page included in the output file.
This option goes with the Multiple TIFF option and is only visible if either the AutoStore,
DocAccel or KYOcapture format is selected.
l
Data Stream group: Determines what is output by the Digital Action task:
l
Use Digital as new data stream: Use the file generated by the task for the rest of
the process.
l
Use original data stream (without document): Use the same data file as what
was input to this task.
l
Use original data stream (with document): Uses the PostScript data generated
before image is created.
l
Save a copy: Optional when the "Use Digital as the new data stream" option is checked,
otherwise is always checked. Keeps a copy of the digital output onto the specified folder.
