Options Dialog
Bitmap Import Options

For information on how to use Help, press F1 or choose Using Help from the Help menu.

The Import Options dialog box allows you to specify options which determine how information in the file is imported.

If the file you've selected contains more than one image in bitmap form, then indicate which image (1,2,3,...) you want imported.

Bitmap Import-specific Messages

The following messages may appear while attempting to import bitmap image files.

Bitmap not found!

Can't link to Bitmap Image Library function!

Can't load Bitmap Image Library DLL!

Can't locate Bitmap Image Library DLL!

Specified image number is not in file!

Unknown bitmap file format!


Bitmap not found!

No bitmap is found in the specified file. Some bitmap files may contain multiple formats, and the actual data may be saved in a non-bitmap format.


Can't link to Bitmap Image Library function!

The Bitmap Image Library utility routines (ACCUSOFT.DLL) can't be linked to the rest of the program.  Perhaps the file contents have been corrupted.  The software may have to be reinstalled.  If this message persists after reinstalling the software, contact Technical Support.


Can't load Bitmap Image Library DLL!

The Bitmap Image Library utility routines (ACCUSOFT.DLL) can't be loaded into memory.  Perhaps the file contents have been corrupted or you do not have the proper access permissions.  The software may have to be reinstalled.  If this message persists after reinstalling the software, contact Technical Support.


Can't locate Bitmap Image Library DLL!

The Bitmap Image Library utility routines (ACCUSOFT.DLL) can't be found.  Perhaps they have been accidentally moved or deleted.  The software will probably have to be reinstalled.  If this message persists after reinstalling the software, contact Technical Support.


Specified image number is not in file!

The specified file does not contain the image number you specified.  If you are sure the file contains multiple images, contact Technical Support.


Unknown bitmap file format!

The specified file appears to be in a format unrecognized by the software.  The file contents may be other than what you think, or may be corrupted or are valid but in a format the software can't handle.


Macro Script Options

Since the Import Options dialog isn't displayed when the program is driven from a macro command script (via GS Scripter or Visual Basic), an Options="..." string can be specified in the script.  The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various import options.  An typical example would be:

...(File="pics.tif",Options="Defaults=1,TIFImageNum=2")

This would first set all import options to their default values, then set the TIFImageNum option value to two, which causes the second image of the multi-image TIFF file (pics.tif) file to be imported.

Option	Action	Default
Defaults=1	Set all options to their default values	No
ForgetOptions=1	Don't remember options for later use	No
TIFImageNum=N	Import image #N from a multi-image TIFF file	1
DCXImageNum=N	Import image #N from a multi-image DCX file	1
