Stack, Join, Split, Extract, Transfer Pages ...

There are two ways to make PDFs: convert other files to PDF, or "print" content to PDF. Both are explained in Convert to PDF.

What about TIFF Files?

Almost all of the instructions for PDF files apply equally to TIFF files. You can open them if Enterprise Organizer and use the same PDF tools to manipulate them. The only difference is that the TIFF editor only offers features for manipulating pages. You can’t do things like annotate, stamp, or digitally sign with a TIFF file.
