Types of Documents

Broadly speaking, there are two types of documents:

• Documents which consist only of TIFF image pages and text (also called as “Laserfiche Documents”)
• Documents which contain files from another format, such as Word document or Excel spreadsheet (also called as “Electronic Documents”)

Both these documents can have TIFF image pages, text page, and metadata. Laserfiche documents will always be viewed in the Document Viewer; and you can choose how to view the electronic documents.
