Printing Images

#1 Post by omni »

Roger,

We have users that print invoices with attachments, always jpg files. PDF files are done separately for users that want that option for their backup. (two files, one for the invoice, one for the backup)

Tif files support multiple pages. Can they print similar to the dcprint bitmap style. Tried a tif file as the file name and it just gave me a blank page, unless I did something wrong.

Or maybe there is a good option to use to combine/addon to the pdf files that can be used inside the app.

Thanks

Fred

Are you saying that you want the print output to go to a TIF file?

The only way something like this would be possible is if there is a printer driver for TIF just like there's a printer driver for PDF. For PDF I use Win2PDF. For TIF there may be something like Win2TIF but I don't know. I recommend searching the internet for such a thing.

Hi,

You would like to use a TIFF because it has multiple pages? Looks the same for PDF to me. :?:

Anyway, if you use PdfCreator, you can create PDF, PNG, JPEG, BMP, PCX, TIFF, PS, EPS, TXT, PSD, PCL, Raw and SVG.
Best regards,

Chris.

What I was trying to say was there a method to take multiple pdf files and send as one attachment, or combine them into one pdf file. These are invoices printed and saved as pdf file and then the backup is saved in other pdf files, most of the time just one multi-page pdf for the backup
We have found a method now (freeware) that will combine multiple pdf files into one pdf file with a batch command the you can run right from the app.
FYI, its called batch pdf merger and it has a tool exe (pdftk.exe).

That's good to know. It might come in handy.
