Output Agent performance varies with source file type. Testing included the most common file types seen in customers’ environments. Three different dpi levels were used for TIFF files (200, 300, and 600) to simulate basic scanned images, OCR-ready images for Recognition Agent, and high resolution. The text based formats tested are PDF, TXT, DOCX, and DOC files.

The test results show that a 200 and 300 dpi TIFF files have the highest throughput. Output Agent still rerenders the image even when the source and destination file types are TIFF. Large TIFF files, such as 600 dpi files, have an exporting performance price that is approximately half the throughput of exporting 200 dpi TIFF files. The resource usage for each of the file types roughly corresponds with their throughput, with the best-performing file types using the fewest resources.
