File format and compression format combinations

The supported file format / compression format combinations are listed here.

Multipage TIFF - G4

Multipage TIFF - Uncompressed

Multipage TIFF - JPEG Compression

Multipage TIFF - LZW Compression

Kofax PDF

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 have the .TIF file extension. However, any color images in the batch contain compressed JPEG data within the TIFF file format.

Notes for exporting image, OCR full text, eDocument, and combination files

The following tables describe how documents are exported to the Microsoft SharePoint root destination, depending on the following:

  • Which image format is selected

  • Whether the Kofax Capture Allow import of eDocument files option is enabled

  • Whether OCR full text files are generated

To import eDocument files, on the Advanced tab, Batch Class Properties dialog box, select the Allow import of eDocument files check box.

To create OCR full text files, add the OCR Full Text module to the batch class and select the Enable OCR full text check box in the document class. Finally, select the Export OCR full text file with document check box on the Image Settings tab in export setup.

In Microsoft SharePoint, the following occurs for each document:

  • One document is exported for each multiple-image document, OCR full text file, eDocument, and/or Kofax PDF document.

  • The documents are exported in the order they are listed in the following tables.
