You need to be able to open and print your original document in order to create a TIFF image. For example, to create a TIFF image from a PDF file, you would need to have Adobe Reader or another PDF viewer that has printing capabilities, installed on your computer.
Raster Image Printer 12 uses Profiles, which are a group of settings, to create the output image you want. Raster Image Printer comes with a few system profiles including: Color Optimized TIFF, Monochrome TIFF, Fax TIFF, Adobe PDF, Serialized Color Optimized TIFF, Non-Searchable PDF, and Color Optimized JPEG. To create multipaged color TIFF images, simply set the profile “Color Optimized TIFF” as Raster Image Printer’s default profile.
