Convert VWI to PDF

Understanding vwi and pdf file formats

VWI files are typically associated with Kofax VirtualReScan (VRS) Image files, used in document scanning and image enhancement workflows. These files store scanned image data optimized for clarity and readability. On the other hand, PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe for presenting documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, or operating systems. PDF files are ideal for sharing, printing, and archiving documents.

Why convert vwi to pdf?

Converting VWI files to PDF format allows for easier sharing, printing, and archiving of scanned documents. PDF files are universally accessible and maintain the formatting and quality of the original scanned images, making them suitable for business, legal, and personal use.

How to convert vwi to pdf

Since VWI is a proprietary format, direct conversion options are limited. The best approach is to use Kofax VRS or compatible scanning software to export or print the scanned images to PDF. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your VWI file in Kofax VRS or the scanning application that created it.
• Go to File → Export or File → Save As.
• Select PDF as the output format.
• Choose your desired settings and save the file.

If your software does not support direct export to PDF, you can use a virtual PDF printer:

• Open the VWI file in the original application.
• Select File → Print.
• Choose a virtual PDF printer (such as Adobe PDF or Microsoft Print to PDF).
• Print the document, which will prompt you to save it as a PDF file.

Summary

To convert VWI files to PDF, use Kofax VRS or a compatible scanning application to export or print the file as a PDF. This ensures your scanned images are preserved in a universally accessible format.
