Virtual Printer that Works Well With Word
I am looking for software that will print a word document to a TIF
file--allow you to specify the resolution of the output? I would think there would be freeware, open source, commercial to do this. Anyone know of something that works well? |

I suggest searching the web for a printer driver that will do what you want.
Here is an example: http://www.print-driver.com/howto/co...d_to_tiff.html I don't know anything about this application, myself. I'm merely providing an example of what I found when typed this into Google's search box: print microsoft word document to tiff Daddy wrote in message ...

Haven't tested it, but there should be one in the latest Windows DDK
according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd434895.aspx. Note that this sample was not available with the Vista DDK, at least I couldn't find it on my machine, but should run on Vista SP2.

SnagIt from http://www.techsmith.com includes a printer driver that can print to TIF. Through the printer properties advanced dialog, you can choose resolutions of 100x100, 200x200, 300x300, or 600x600 dpi. Actually the printer driver is a minor part of the package. The main show is the flexible screen-capture and graphics editing parts. There's a free 30-day trial, but I think you'll find it so useful it's worth paying US$50 for it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

In what regard is there disagreement? The output quality from the SnagIt driver in TIF format is excellent, but at the end of the day TIF is a bitmapped format and if you then need to scale the output file to use it, you are going to run into problems. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

I stumbled across the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer.
Works well except that its maximum resolution is 300 DPI. The output looks pretty crappy as a result. However, 600 DPI would probably cross the threshold of pretty bad to pretty good.. It's surprising that the software does not go up that high. User needs document to be in an uneditable format. |

MODI is set at 300 as that is the standard adopted for the OCR software that
partners it. You can set SnagIt to output at 600, but the image is then huge. There is no such thing as an uneditable format. Any document the user has access to can be edited - and that includes TIF format. You can merely slow down the process of editing and for that you may as well use PDF. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote in message ...

"User needs document to be in an uneditable format."
Why didn't you say so in the first place? Word documents can be saved as 'read only' (password-protected). Another easy solution has been a part of Windows for years: Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. You can also print to PDF. It would be good to know exactly how "uneditable" the document needs to be. Even if you find a way to print to .tiff, that doesn't prevent a user from using OCR. Daddy wrote in message ...
