Convert to TIFF for Redaction

Conditions

In a Redaction index (see the ZyFIND manual > Create Redaction index) you need to convert a document to TIFF format so you can redact it in ZyVIEW. You have installed the ZyLAB TIFF Export printer driver (this appears in your printer list as "ZyLAB Tiff Export" printer). You have defined the TIFF conversion settings (see the ZyINDEX manual > ZyINDEX Options > TIFF Conversions Settings).

Note: Documents already in a TIFF format (for example, those created in ZySCAN) can be directly redacted (see the ZyFIND manual > Create Redaction).

Instructions

1. The Web Client is showing a non-TIFF document.
2. Click the "Convert this document to TIFF" button . A TIFF image is created from your document and is displayed on the screen.

   Note that the TIFF buttons only appear when the index is a Redaction index.

3. To change between the original document and the TIFF image click the "Switch between TIFF and Original" button .
4. To delete the TIFF image, click the "Delete Converted TIFF" button .

   Note: This will delete all TIFF versions, including redactions, of the original document.

5. If you want the TIFF version of a document to be opened in preference to the original document, click the Options button on the File tab check the "View TIFF Converted documents first" checkbox (File Options).

Result

A TIFF version of your document has been created, and it can now be redacted.

The TIFF file is saved in the index's Data >> TIFF folder. The TIFF file can be redacted in ZyVIEW.
