Exporting a Form into an Image File
A form can be exported to an image format at any moment of the design stage. If the form has Draft status, the form identifier element will have the word "Draft" written over it. If the form has Published status, the form identifier will have the standard appearance depending on its type (barcode only, barcode with digits, or digits only).
To export a form to an image file, use the Image File... command (File → Export To… → Image File...).

Exporting images with color separation
You may need to save your color form to two separate files in order to print it at the printer's. One file will contain the elements that must be printed in black and the other file will contain the elements to be printed in color.
Select File → Export To → Image file with color separation.... The images will be saved as TIFF files, the black and white file will have _bw in its name and the color file will have _color in its name.
Exporting multi-page forms
Multi-page forms can be exported into any of the supported image formats. In the case of multi-page formats, you can save your form to a multi-page file. Select the Multipage file option when exporting your form to an image file. If this option is not selected, each page will saved into a separate file.
Exporting to a TIFF file with a resolution of your choice
You can select the resolution of a TIFF file on the Export tab of the Options dialog box (Tools → Options...).
