How to Create a BMP file using Win2PDF


To create a image file in JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, or BMP format:


Open a document from a Windows application (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, etc.)

Print the document as you normally do but select the Win2Image printer

You will be prompted to enter the name of the document, as shown on this screen:


Win2Image Save As BMP

Win2Image Save As BMP


The default file name is supplied by the sending application. You can choose the format using the "Save as type:" options. Win2Image supports the following formats in color and monochrome/grayscale:







If the document contains more than one page, a separate file with a page number appended to the file name will be created for each page for all formats except TIFF.


Print to an image (JPEG, GIF, TIF, BMP, &PNG) using the Win2Image printer






Send File - Opens a new email message using the default MAPI-compliant email client and attaches the file to the message. The email program is specified in the Internet Options icon in the Windows control panel. Win2PDF can also be configured to send a BMP using Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Gmail,, Yahoo! Mail, or custom SMTP servers.



You can use the file save window to browse to a new location before saving the document. Win2Image remembers this location, and will use the same location the next time you create a document.
