Previously scanned documents may have been stored in a different file format than the one you want in your current database. Older document databases often use formats such as TIFF, CALS, Edmics or even JPEG, while newer databases mostly use PDF. With the right software, you can convert these files to your standard file format without having to rescan.

Born-digital documents, such as Office documents, may also be converted to a standard file format. This will make your document database platform and application independent. Any user can view the documents on their device with just the standard software.

Benefits of using a standard file format

• Easier for the entire organization to use the documents
• View, comment and reuse documents regardless of what device and office application that is being used
• Documents will be readable on any system in the future
