Image->PDF

---

The options on the Image->PDF tab determine how PDF files are created. Zan Image Printer can create two types of PDF documents:

image-only, non-searchable

image + hidden text layer, searchable

Output Image File Format
Select the format of image that you want to create, available formats are: BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF, PNG and TIFF.

Color
Select one of the file varieties: monochrome, 256 color, grayscale, and true color (24-bits).

Quality
This parameter allows you to specify the desired quality of the compression by varying a quality factor (QFactor) between 0 (worst quality) and 100 (best quality). A QFactor of around 75 produces good results for nearly all images.

File Mode
One multi-page
All pages of the current document will be saved to a single multi-page PDF file. If the file exists prior to printing, all previous data will be overwritten and lost.
Serialized(one page per file)
One page per file, each page of the current document will be saved to an individual PDF file.
Append to existing file
Concatenate and merge all pages of multiple documents into one single PDF file so you can print and save them together. If the file exists prior to printing, all previous images in the file will not be touched, and the new images will be appended to the existing file. We recommend that you define a fixed file name from the Save tab when using the append mode.

Create PDF in image + searchable text format
When this option is selected, Zan Image Printer will add an invisible layer of searchable text to the original image so the text can be indexed and searched.
When this option is turned off, Zan Image Printer will produce the PDF in image only format that doesn't contain any searchable text.

Help
Loads the help file, and displays the Image->PDF topic.
