Print Loan Docs to PDF or TIFF

You don't always need a scanner to create document images. Instead you can use an electronic fax or print to PDF or TIFF. It's easy, and helps you save money. 

Print to Tiff:

Documents can be printed to TIFF by following these simple steps:

1.  Open the document that you would like to save as a TIFF.

2.  Go to File >> Print.

3.  Use the drop down arrow to select "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" as your printer.

4. Click the "Properties" button.

5.  Select the "Advanced" tab.

6.  Select "TIFF - Monochrome Fax".

7.  Click OK. Your system is now set up to print to TIFF.

8.  Click OK again.

9.  A "Save As" window will open. Select where you would like the TIFF image to be saved and press the "Save" button. Your document will now save onto your computer in a TIFF format which can be uploaded into DirectWare®.

Print to PDF:

Printing to PDF is similar to printing to TIFF, but requires the use of additional software:

1. Download and install free PDF software such as the following: PrimoPDF, CutePDF, or doPDF. Alternatively, you can use Adobe Acrobat Professional (cost associated with purchase).

2.  Open the document that you would like to save as a PDF.

3.  Go to File >> Print.

4.  Use the drop down arrow to select your PDF-creation program. It will show up as a printer option. For example, to print to PDF using Adobe Professional, the printer option is "Abobe PDF".

5.  Click OK.

6.  A "Save As" window will open. Select where you would like the PDF image to be saved and press the "Save" button. Your document will now save onto your computer in a PDF format which can be uploaded into DirectWare®.
