3-Heights™ Image to PDF Converter
Overview Functions Benefits	Areas of Use Technical Details
To top Overview
The 3-Heights™ Image to PDF Converter component converts raster images such as TIFF, JPM and JPEG to PDF/A and PDF documents. Typical applications include: Conversion of scanned documents to PDF/A documents Migration of a TIFF archive to PDF/A Conversion of image files into searchable PDF/A files Conversion of fax files to PDF/A with optional OCR recognition	The Image to PDF Converter is used to convert raster images into a standardized format, for instance for electronic archiving or electronic data exchange. It is also possible to integrate metadata from external sources during the conversion process. An optional OCR add-on is available to create searchable output files.

Properties and Benefits The 3-Heights™ Image to PDF Converter creates documents that are compliant with PDF and PDF/A. A high throughput is proof of its performance. The use of state-of-the-art algorithms automatically reduces the size of the file during processing. The optional OCR add-on enables PDF documents to be searched in full text mode. Consolidating various image formats into a standardized, platform independent format makes it easier to exchange documents, enables long-term archiving and reduces costs as different specialized raster image viewers and printers are no longer required. Migrating archives containing scanned documents, which were stored in the mixed raster content (MRC) format, to equivalent PDF/A-2 conforming documents without the need of recompressing the image data streams.	Performance Characteristics Supports a broad range of image formats (standard formats, but also legacy formats such as TIFF V 6 and special formats such as IBM MOD:CA, etc.) Adoption of metadata from images Adoption of color space information from images Supports accessibility requirements Optional PDF/A compliant output Optional integrated OCR function High performance Processes very large image files Platform independent

Incoming Mail Scanned documents can be converted from JPEG and TIFF format into PDF/A, PDF or other image formats. Further standardized processing and secure archiving of incoming documents is thereby guaranteed. Received texts can be made available via optional OCR functionality.	Archive Conversion of existing TIFF or JPM archives or files into a long-term PDF/A archive compliant with ISO requirements and with full text searching options. OEM The 3-Heights™ Image to PDF Converter can be integrated into scanning solutions, fax software, COLD output software, document management systems, archiving systems, etc.
