Aaron,
i can tell you that this has caused a fair amount of conversation on these forums over the years. If you do a search for "Convert PDF to TIFF", you will see what I mean.
There's no super simple answer to this problem. There are three generally accepted solutions, however. These solutions are somewhat version dependent, so your OnBase version will negate or enhance the validity of one or more of these options.
1. Use an external PDF conversion application to convert the PDF to TIFF prior to it getting swept.
2. Use VPD to print the document to TIFF. (This is a license that must be acquired)
- Manually have a user print the PDF into OnBase
- Use a scan queue image processor to print the document to a new rendition of the document
3. Use the Microsoft Office Document Conversion license to use Workflow to convert the PDF to TIFF. (This is also a license that must be acquired)
There is a 4th option if you're good with Unity Scripting that utilizes third part open source (or purchased, I guess) code modules that can be leveraged in a Unity Script to convert the PDF to TIFF and save the rendition that's created.
There are headaches with all of these approaches. 2.1 is probably the most stable, though I am never keen on relying on humans to reliably execute a repetitive task.
Cheers,
Seth
