Overview

Options to save a PDF in TDO

Before saving a PDF in TDO, the PDF should already be saved somewhere on your computer and have a unique name. This is needed to prevent files from overwriting when the default name convention maxes out the character limit. 

Saving using Image Organizer

  • Open the Organizer
  • Open the location on the computer where the PDF is saved
  • Drag & drop the desired PDF into the Organizer
  • A pop-up window titled Missing Information will open, requiring that you select the Category and Tooth to be associated with the PDF

  • Click Ok
  • A pop-up will appear briefly confirming that the PDF has been saved - you should be able to see the PDF in the Image Organizer now
