What
is it? |
How
do I view it? |
JPG |
Joint
Photographic Expert Group: Common file for transferring images
across the Internet. This file type benefits from high image
quality and smaller download size due to compression. |
This
type will open "inline" with your web browser. No
special viewing action needed. |
TIF |
Tagged
Image File: A higher quality file representing the exact copy
of the document. Although this type has the highest quality,
it is not compressed, resulting in a large download size. |
Choosing
this file type will prompt you to download the image to your hard
drive so it can be later opened using any graphics program, such
as Microsoft Photo Editor, or any equivalent viewer. If you
choose to "Open" the file rather than "Save",
your browser will attempt to display the file. If this does
not work, use the "Save" option to download to your hard
drive. |
PDF |
Portable
Document Format: This special format features a high
quality and compressed image size (similar to JPG), and also
includes searchable text. |
This
type requires Adobe Acrobat Reader (4 or higher), a special
"plug-in" that needs to be installed on your
system. To download this program, please click on this icon:
