PDF Image-only Conversion

Image-only PDF - contains a bitmapped image of the page. The cheapest and quickest way to convert paper to PDF is to convert to this format. The conversion process consists of scanning hardcopy originals into TIFF Group IV image files, which are then distilled to PDF image only format. This type of PDF file is an exact replication of the original, so the PDF file is only as legible as the source. Also, the document's text is not searchable, and hyperlinks and bookmarks are not fully functional.

Almost any image file may be converted to confer the unique advantages of PDF. Suntec specializes in the conversion of paper documents, but we handle all kinds of electronic files, from bitmaps to Zip-compressed TIFFs, or any other graphic format.

Pages will be retained as image only. Accuracy is inherently high based on the image displayed. Image files (photographs, page images, EPS art, etc.) can be bookmarked and thumbnails created. Total fidelity to the original paper document is assured.

Suntec can also generate index and metadata to facilitate your application. PDF/Image format files are moderate in size, typically around 40-60kb per page at 300 dpi without grayscale or color images.

Color image files, unless heavily compressed, color-depth reduced and downsampled to low resolutions, will tend to be quite large. If you want those color and half-tone images to look good in your PDF files without paying a huge file-size price, then check out our Multi-resolution PDF conversion services.


Typical applications for this format include: -


    • Highly cost-effective document storage and archiving
    • Research/reference materials where text-searchability is not required
    • Print or Fax On Demand

We sent a complex PDF conversion job in two languages and the results were impeccable.

We will definitely use Suntec for any future works of this kind.

Thanks for the great job your company did for us in converting our text document and turning it into a first class .pdf eBook.

Your fast turn around time and efficiency, plus your willingness to make all the changes we requested made our working with you a very pleasurable experience.

Without your expertise in document management we would not have had our project finished in such a timely and superb manner..
