Overview

HSM Informatik AG (Switzerland) and Informatik Inc. (USA) join forces and present the latest in TIFF printer driver and PDF printer driver technology. Informatik Image Driver runs much faster and more reliably than other PDF drivers and TIFF drivers. It installs easily in less than 10 seconds and the program file is less than 500k. The multipage TIFF or serialized single-page TIFF output files are format compliant with the strictest industry standards. Full support for Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP, Vista, Windows Terminal Server, Citrix (special version). A 64-bit version is now also available.

Informatik Image Driver ( PDF / TIFF printer driver ) is a raster driver that creates TIFF and PDF files from any Windows application. It works like a standard printer driver. Simply send the Microsoft Word, PDF, Excel, text, etc. document to the TIFF driver (from the Print menu) and an industry-standard compressed multi-page TIFF or PDF file, or serialized single-page TIFF files are created. With an optional addon formatting program you can also create JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc. and many different TIFF compressions (including TIFF Class F Dialogic), text annotations (with merge fields and placeholders), watermarks and other image manipulation.

The driver can be used to convert proprietary graphics formats; any file, any format that can be printed in Windows can be converted to a graphic file. Batch processing is possible in many cases with OLE Automation or with your own application.

The program file is less than 1.5mb; it installs in less than 10 seconds and the performance is 3-4 times faster than similar TIFF drivers. Informatik Image Driver is a native program; TIFF files are created directly from the datastream, not via an indirect graphics conversion, hence the remarkable performance and high system reliability. The TIFF output files have a comlete tag set and are format compliant with the strictest industry standards.
