Starting with version 3.0 of the DynaRithmic TWAIN Library,the TwainSave technology is now built into DTWAIN.

Also available are multipage TIFF, PCX, PDF, and PostScript files.
When producing Acrobat PDF files, DTWAIN_TwainSave has various options including setting the producer, keywords, encryption, and other useful PDF options.
Since DTWAIN_TwainSave uses a command-line interface, programmers can easily utilize DTWAIN_TwainSave in their programs to initiate TWAIN image retrieval. Resolution, image-bit depth, acquisition area, duplex scanning, multi-page scanning, job/batch control, imprinter usage, blank page removal, and many other options are available in an easy-to-use command line utility.
Also available are special diagnostic mode, just in case a TWAIN driver doesn't behave as expected. Log files are generated that capture all the events occuring between DTWAIN_TwainSave and your TWAIN device.
If a programmer desires more control of TWAIN image retrieval, it is highly recommended that the numerous DTWAIN functions be used for more programmatic control of the TWAIN devices instead of DTWAIN_TwainSave.
DTWAIN_TwainSave currently supports Black and White, grayscale, and color (RGB) image file creation.
