TIFF is not one of the supported output types from WF. On one of our projects, the developers used a third-party tool to automatically read files in .PS output and generate a TIFF file for our imaging system. I don't know what the tool is called but there were several available that they looked at. If you need more info about that, let me know and I'll see if I can get specifics.

Thx Darin,

And do you have any idea of the tools that can helpd me to make such a conversion. I need a tool that can be use as a deamon or call by a fex as a user exit for exemple.

My dev guys are out of the office this week, but in a nutshell, here's what I get from them. They have a listener or daemon set up on a specific directory. Anything that is placed in the directory (in our case, via ReportCaster FTP)is processed using Ghostscript commands which read the PS file and convert it to TIFF.
So Ghostscript , it seems, is the magic bullet. I believe it is free and can be found via (pick your favorite internet search engine).

Looking for the tiff or jpeg icon that appears on the Dashoard in front of the fex's or htm's selections. Reason is I build my own scroll box with all the programs.
