PDF Creator Plus Feature Highlights

  • TIFF is a widely adopted standard for faxing and archiving documents and is viewable almost everywhere without downloading special software.

  • More than just TIFF, PDF Creator Plus can also create PDF files and JPEG and BMP images.

How to Convert to TIFF

Download and install a free trial to try it out, or install and activate your purchased copy. The setup program will install the PDF Creator Plus app and  PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer to your computer.

PDF Creator Plus can convert and merge documents to TIFF images by printing any document to the PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer instead of your regular printer.

Convert to tiff using the PDF Creator plus app and printer added to your computer.

Open your document in its native application. For example, if it’s a text file, open it in Notepad, as shown below. You would open a Word document in Microsoft Word, a PDF file in Adobe Reader, and so on. Then, select File – Print from the application menu.

Click File and then choose Print from the menu to tiff your document.

In the Print dialog, select PDF Creator Plus 8 from the list of printers and then click Print.

Select PDF Creator Plus 8 from the list of printers then click the Print button to create TIFF or TIF.

Collect and Edit Your Pages to Convert to TIFF

The PDF Creator Plus 8 printer sends your printed document to the PDF Creator Plus app. In the app, you can add, move, or delete pages before creating your TIFF image. There are also tools to markup the pages with text, shape, and image annotations.

You now have two options: create your TIFF or add more pages by merging PDF files and printing additional documents from Word and other apps.

After you have gathered all your pages, click the Create TIFF button to convert to TIFF now.

Click the Create TIFF button to save the pages of your file to TIFF

In the Create File dialog, edit the name for your new TIFF image and choose where to save it. Next, choose options for your TIFF image:

  • Select TIFF Image (*.tif) as the Save as type.
  • For a single TIFF file containing all pages, tick the Multipage option. When not checked, each page becomes a separate TIFF image.
  • Choose a color mode for your TIFF image. Optimized creates a TIFF with the least amount of color needed. Other choices are Full Color, Greyscale, and Monochrome (Black and white).
  • Next, choose the Resolution for your image. Higher resolutions create better quality images, but also larger images.
  • Lastly, click the Save button to create your TIFF.
Type a name and choose the save location, select TIFF image (*.tif) then click Save to create TIFF.

Saving the TIFF Images

A progress dialog displays as your TIFF image, or images, are created.

If you had unchecked the multipage option, PDF Creator Plus saves a separate TIFF image for each page in your document. A sequential numbering sequence names each image by appending a suffix of _0001, _0002, etc. to each image name.

A progress dialog tracks the creation of your TIFF images from Word(DOCX), EXCEL (XLSX), TXT, or any document you can print.
