When I first started with AC the scanner that I used to fax in all patients' insurance info., medical hx form, etc. was saved as a .tif file. As I've added more and more patients the imported items folder has gotten larger and is now at 32gb! I realize the problem is with the large .tif files that I have and the scanner that I have now saves files as much smaller pdfs. My question for you computer gurus is if you know of a quick and easy way to compress my .tif files or batch convert them to jpg or pdf. My concern with converting them is that everything that has been imported into AC is tagged as a tif. If I convert things they will be renamed as .jpg or .pdf and the link between the chart and imported file folder will be broken. In other words, the chart will still be looking to the imported items folder for a file with a .tif name.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can scale down the size of the imported items folder without having to rescan everything?
Thank you in advance
