Example: I am finished with a document as a TIFF file and am ready to keep it in the same folder but I want to convert it to a PDF. Is this possible or no?
Usually it is the other way around since users typically work in other file formats and then covert to tiff to make it a permanent non proprietary image. You could export it as a PDF and then re-import it make sure not to convert it again.
Drag 'n Drop is really easy and it converts automatically into pdf form once dropped onto your desk top. (Assuming a person has the Adobe software on their computer, I'm guessing.)
Thanks for the replies! Although these are great suggestions, my situation is a bit different. I am actually trying to reduce the number of clicks this customer needs to do. In this clients case, I would be making his default settings auto turn his PDFs into TIF when dragged into the repository. This is so he can click and drag documents into each other to append them. Once the documents are appended, it would be nice to turn them back into PDFs since this is what they primarily use for PO's. NOTE: We are trying to not use adobe acrobat Pro because many tabs need to be open and their process gets complex when using that software.
That being said, it is interesting that I can still email a laserfiche page as a PDF. hmm...
Idealy, in the LF repository, you want to keep the documents as TIFF. This makes for faster document loading and reduced network load while viewing documents. Then when the document is sent out of laserfiche, convert to PDF during export.
But if this is not a solution that your customer wants, you can use Workflow to do the conversion in the background (though that can create workflow bottlenecks if you have a lot of workflows running).
This makes sense. I may propose this philosophy to the customer and get there thoughts. Thanks!
What workflow process do you use to convert it from a tiff to a pdf/electronic document?
If you keep them as tiff's in Laserfiche, and have your defaults for exporting out of LF as a pdf, you shouldn't need anything else. That way, if your customer decides to email anything out of LF to a client or vendor, any copies will be sent as pdf's.
Any workflow process to convert it from a tiff to a pdf/electronic document? I need Asap
