Saving a PDF in the Image Organizer or Acquire

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
