Hey Guys

When migrating a document into the chart which is preferred TIF or PDF?

Thanks

Dru

TiFFs are mostly for pictures, They load slower and often appear somewhat different depending on your default viewer.
PDFs are more stable and I believe smaller in size.
If it is a document it should be PDF, pictures I still usually save as TIFF

Same thing as above. TIFFs are for image files. But PDFs can have searchable text. There's no difference in image quality between the two.

Lots of people are scanning in documents with OCR which allows you to copy and paste from scanned images. You can also down-sample the resolution in the same step resulting in smaller, searchable files.
