Hi,
I don’t want my scanned notes converted to jpg:
$imagepath = "$imagedir/${encouter}_$formid.jpg
Will changing the extension to pdf work?
Thanks for your attention.

I don’t know offhand if that will work – I suspect not. You could clone some code from interface/fax/fax_dispatch.php which invokes tiff2pdf to create PDFs.
But also, JPEG format was chosen because that will display inline on a page, whereas PDF requires an external viewer. I’m not sure you’d be happy with it.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the feedback. When I generate a patient report that includes a scanned encounter the scaling is not right and is therefore problematic.
If I generate a report that includes a document that was uploaded using the "Upload Document to category" function it remains a pdf and prints perfectly.
As such I would prefer everything to be pdf and not convert to jpg.
