Consultant's TIFF Requirements
Electronic Plan Submittal (Tiffs) for Consultants
-
Currently VDOT can only accept "Group 4" Tiff formatted files. TIFF is one of the most popular and widely used file formats for storing bit-mapped images. Group 4 is a compression type within the Tiff family. It is the most powerful compression algorithm. Therefore we use it for documents that can stand alone.
-
There are four viable options available for the creation of Group 4 Tiffs that we can recommend to consultants. For information on any option other than reproduction please access the links below:
