Beware saving anything without taking heed of previously set options! (Especially as TIF with PDF Creator!)
I was doing some experiments, and forgot to change the color depth options for TIF saving with PDF Creator. I wanted 2-bit color and got Look what happened to a little text file!
The screen half froze for a long time. I was about to give up and terminate the process, when I saw an IrfanView window appear. I waited . . . and there it was, the first page of the biggest dang TIF you ever could want.
File Name____Size (in bytes)
Words.txt____168,23
Words.tif_____654,138,978
I had a couple of MB of free space left in that drive partition.
All I can say is, hooray for my computer (1Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM!) -- and hooray for IrfanView. It was the hairiest non-crash I ever saw.
