I'm trying to print from word and I've set PDFCreator to save the file as TIF. When I print just a one page document it creates a 6MB file. Are there any settings to make the file significantly smaller?
When I use Microsoft's Image Writer, the same files is only 8KB.
This is because ay standard TIFF is selected as 150dpi in full color. If you Want b/w tiff i suggest to set in Options in MainMenu of PDF Creator->TIFF and select 300DPI and form the list choose 2 color monohrome G4 fax which is the best compression without data loss... and then output files are very low with all the information.
Is there any one who knows to set this thru the comn object? I have the function "Public TIFFColorscount As Long" available but I don't know which value it should have (2 I guyes but there many compressions avaliable with 2 colors)...
For that matter where do I get a full description of the comobjects because the helpfile is just a list of methods and functions but nowhere is a full description of their use.
Sorry, there is no such com help file\\book that describe the com com interface a little better. To write such book is a full time job and needs a lot of time. There are only the some com samples and this forum.
To see what happens if you change a setting and save it -> take a look at the registry at
