Hi all

We are in the process of setting up a document scanner and have the option
of tiff or pdf output.
Is there a "standard" used across the industry for our storage and for
distribution to clients?

From a layman's viewpoint, Tiff is better if we want to crop a part of a
drawing and send it, but PDF is more secure for external distribution.

Any thoughts on an adopted "standard" or other pros/cons.
I've checked the file size and for a given resolution, the file size is
pretty much the same PDF or TIFF.

TIA

Phil
