About TIFF And Document Imaging Management Software
Posted by admin on September 6, 2008 in Business :: Management
TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format and has essentially become the industry standard for Document Imaging. All of the scanner vendors, document imaging management vendors and Enterprise Content Management vendors support this format. TIFF was originally developed by the company Aldus as a standard for imaging, Aldus is now owned by Adobe. The TIFF format provides compression to produce manageable image sizes, while also allowing the document to retain characteristics of a text document. The only true competition to TIFF is the Microsoft created MDI (Microsoft Document Imaging) format, which itself is based on the TIFF format. Adobe’s other major file format, PDF can also be used for document imaging.
