| Image-only PDF Conversion - contains a bitmapped image of the page. The cheapest and quickest way to convert paper to PDF is to convert to this format. The conversion process consists of scanning hardcopy originals into TIFF Group IV image files, which are then distilled to PDF image only format. This type of PDF file is an exact replication of the original, so the PDF file is only as legible as the source. Also, the document's text is not searchable, and hyperlinks and bookmarks are not fully functional. |
