# Creating Documents by ImportingImage Files

You can create DocuWorks documents from image files (BMP, JPEG, or TIFF files) by importing image files or folders containing image files to DocuWorks.
Multiple files or folders can be imported simultaneously.
You can also create PDF documents from image files. The operations are the same as in the case of application files. Refer to Creating Documents by Importing Files (Application data).
Procedure
1.
In Desk, select [Import Files] or[Import Folders] from the [File] menu.
The [Import Document] or the [Import Folders] dialog box appears accordingly.
2.
Specify one or more files or folders, then click [Open] or [OK].
3.
In the [Import Files] dialog box, select [Convert to DocuWorks documents and import files] and click [Yes].
For folders, select one or more types of files to import, then click [Yes].
The [Import Image File(s)] dialog box appears. This dialog box is displayed only if [Query at Run Time] is selected in [Import Files] under [DocuWorks Desk Options] in the [Preferences] dialog box.
4.
Specify the settings such as the paper size and the image quality of the created documents, then click [OK].
If you are importing multiple files with the same settings, select [Import the following file using same setting] to prevent this dialog box from appearing for subsequent files.
The corresponding DocuWorks document is created.
If you import a folder, a new folder is created in the current folder and the DocuWorks documents created are stored in that folder. The name of the newly created folder is the same as the name of the imported folder.
Note
If the created DocuWorks documents do not appear in the workspace, click anywhere in the Desk window to make it active.
