  • Kofax PDF: Not available if Kofax PDF or Multipage TIFF - JPEG Comp is selected as a primary file format.

Color and Grayscale images

  • JPEG is the standard file format for color and grayscale images. You cannot convert bitonal (black and white) images to the JPEG file format.

  • If the images in the batch are mixed (color, grayscale, and/or bitonal images), you should select a file format combination that includes the TIFF file format with any compression other than JPEG compression. The exported images all have the .TIF file extension. However, any color images in the batch contain compressed JPEG data within the TIFF file format.

Exporting image, non-image, and combination files

The following table describes how non-image files are exported to the Documentum repository, depending on which primary image format is selected, and whether the Kofax Capture "Allow import of eDocument files" option is selected. You can select "Allow import of eDocument files" on the Advanced tab on the Batch Class Properties window in Kofax Capture.
