Restrictions and Limitations

  • The component binds input files into TIFF or PDF documents. If the component receives the document of unsupported format, it gives the warning message in the Status Monitor and passes the document to the next component in the workflow. If you try to bind several documents including one document of the unsupported format and then to send the resultant document for further processing, the documents will be bound except for the document of the unsupported format and the resultant document will be sent for further processing. The supported formats are:
    • Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
    • TIFF files ABIC compression
    • TIFF no compression, CMYK data
    • TIFF PackBits compression, RGB data
    • TIFF PackBits compression, CMYK data
    • TIFF Format with LZW compression
    • TIFF LZW compression, CMYK data
    • Jpeg Tag Image File Format (JPEG TIFF)
    • JPEG 4:2:2 color space
    • JPEG 4:1:1 color space
    • TIFF DXF R12
    • TIFF DXF R13
    • uncompressed RGB Exif file
    • JPEG 4:2:2 compressed Exif file
    • JPEG 4:1:1 compressed Exif file
    • TIFF CCITT
    • CCITT Group3 one dimension
    • CCITT Group3 two dimensions
    • CCITT Group4 two dimensions
    • TIFF file with unknown compression
  • The component does not support images greater than 8400 pixels in a dimension. If the component receives the document of unsupported size, it gives an error message in the Status Monitor, and replaces the page with a blank page in the output file. The input file gets rejected.

    You can decrease the image size with any image editor tool.

  • The component saves the documents in the following formats:
    • Binary images are saved in CCITT G4 format.
    • Other types are saved with LZW compression.
  • The component deletes the tags in the input document when converting it into the output document if they are not supported by the output format.
  • The component is not designed for delayed or scheduled document binding. Document binding occurs as soon as documents appear in the input, and documents are released and passed for further processing as soon as the release condition is satisfied.
  • The component collects the pages in a temporary TIFF or PDF file. If the temporary file format is TIFF and this file approaches 2GB in size, the component releases the file automatically, without any action taken by the user or the administrator.
  • It is not allowed to combine TIFF, PDF files into a single output.
  • Image mode setting works on PDF-Image files only.
