Add job information to the document: Select to add the available job info variables in the

“header” of the generated output file.

Output type: Select the output file type that you want.

PDF: The output will be a PDF file. If you select PDF, the DPI and Color Depth options (see

below) are disabled and the options available in the PDF tab are enabled.

JPEG: The output will be a JPEG file. JPEG is a lossy compression image format that cre-

ates small files, compressing continuous tone images (such as scanned photographs) well.

TIFF: The output will be a TIFF file. TIFF is a higher quality format that is one of the stand-

ards for document exchange, useful for eventual printing or archiving. You have a choice of

the following compressed TIFF formats: TIFF Group 3, TIFF Group 4, and TIFF Packed

bits. You can also use the uncompressed TIFF format, which produces the largest files with

the highest quality. TIFF is a versatile and platform-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.

The AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture formats also generate TIFF files along with

special XML that are meant for these specialized systems.

VDX: The output will be a PDF file with some PPML code inside of it to enhance per-

formance by doing caching/image reusing. The output can only be used on devices that

support the VDX technology.

DPI: Enter the dots per inch (dpi) resolution of the output image. This property is enabled for all

output types except PDF.

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 mono-

chrome (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.

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.
