TIFF-XChange acts as a virtual printer - meaning that when output from any Windows software (ie: MS Word, Excel, AutoCAD etc) is printed to TIFF-XChange it captures the document and converts it to a TIFF file. If you are using a 64 bit Windows system - please see Raster-XChange as an alternative suitable for this platform |
Here you can alter numerous settings - most of which will be obvious, although please note that even if you make changes here - it may be that your application will override these - for instance MS Word will set the paper size of the output to that set in your document - so be aware that the document or source file generally has command over some of these settings irrespective of the default settings applied.
You can set the file properties for the TIFF file you wish to create - specifically the compression and colour properties of the file concerned.
Using the watermark function of TIFF-XChange allows you to create and apply (and save for future use) watermarks to apply and print on your output - excellent for copyright statements and such like - or a 'Private & Confidential' stamp etc !
The default is to 'Ask for filename ...' when installing - but if you change this you can define your own default path and filename (this will copy over the file after each print - or append to the file if the append switch is set on).
If the default option of 'Run Application after Printing' is selected the default viewer as associated in Windows for the TIFF file type is used to view the file - unless you change the option to 'Application' - you can then browse and specify your own chosen application to be called at the end of the print job - this can be another viewer or any other program and does not have to be a viewer specifically.
