Scan and capture high quality color images in extremely
compact file sizes
Only Pagis Pro offers the XIF (eXtended Image File) format,
which enables you to store high quality color scans in extremely
compact file sizes.
A typical color magazine page, for example, can take up less than
100 kilobytes when scanned to XIF. By contrast, a JPEG version
of the same file could be as much as five times the size. JPEG is a
very popular image compression format.
Pagis Pro achieves its high compression levels by segmenting the
scanned image into four layers in the XIF file: the binary (black
and white) text and graphics layer; the color text layer; the
background tint layer; and the color image layer. Each layer is
then appropriately compressed.
◆
Scan to and read many popular image formats
In addition to XIF, Pagis Pro can read and write many popular
image formats, including BMP, FlashPix, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF.
For a complete list of supported image formats, see Appendix A,
“Supported Programs and File Formats.”

Direct scanning to many popular applications
Pagis Pro allows you to scan documents directly into many
applications. A partial list includes Microsoft Office Suite
applications (such as Word, Excel, and Power Point); Adobe
applications (such as PageMaker, PhotoDeluxe, and PhotoShop);
Corel WordPerfect Suite applications (such as WordPerfect,
Draw, and Quattro Pro); Lotus Smart Suite applications (such as
AmiPro, Freelance, and 1–2–3). For a complete list, see Appendix
A, “Supported Programs and File Formats.”
