Examples

For multiple page documents we can scan them to multipage .tiff or .pdf files. Generally we have found that .tiff files are better for long term storage while Adobe .pdf files are more portable across different computers.

To view a multipage .tiff, save the document locally and open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Navigate between pages using the arrow buttons in the center of the bottom toolbar. To view the .pdf file you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. You can down this from the Adobe Website.

For color documents, we can scan them to .jpg or .pdf file formats.
