1. Overview
RDO files
RDO is the three-letter extension for the Raster Document Object
file type. As stated earlier, the RDO file type is used primarily with
FreeFlow, but you can use RDOs with other FreeFlow
applications, or convert them to PostScript or PDF files.
An RDO is a document file made up of images. An RDO has two
parts:
• A PostScript wrapper which contains all the information about
the structure and format of the pages in your document.
• A .CON directory that holds the TIFF, JPEG, PostScript, and
Adobe PDF files that make up the pages of your document.
When you create an RDO, FreeFlow creates both of these parts
automatically.
With an RDO you can: • Scan hardcopy documents to create electronic images to add
pages to your RDO.
• Insert existing TIFF files, JPEG files, PostScript files, or Adobe
PDF files into your RDO.
• Export RDO pages to other file formats such as TIFF, JPEG,
PostScript, or Adobe PDF.
• Create headers or footers, add page numbers and logos,
group pages into sections, or choose a paper size for your
RDO. There are also many other setup and printing options.
• Put as many pages as you want in an RDO. However, the
bigger your RDO is, the longer it will take you to open it.
KEY POINT: Do not move, copy, rename, or delete an RDO using
Windows Explorer. If you do, the content (.CON) directory will not
be included in the operation, and the RDO will be corrupted. Use
the FreeFlow File Manager to perform these operations on RDO
files.
NOTE: For descriptions of the other file types you can use with
RDOs, use the online Help system.
