Several of our customers have large databases with legacy IBM MO:DCA IOCA files beside TIFF files.

Black Ice Software added a feature of opening IBM MO:DCA IOCA files with the file extension of .ICA, .MAC, .AFP to the Tiff Viewer desktop application. The new feature to open IBM MO:DCA IOCA files is also available with the Internet Explorer Browser Plug-in.

In light of the Internet Explorer web browser's retirement on June 15, 2022, Black Ice Software offers an easy migration to Chrome / Edge browsers with the TIFF Viewer Chrome / Edge extension.

The TIFF Viewer Chrome / Edge extension comes with a wide range of features, such as a fully customizable User Interface, full control over User features, OCR, Search, Redact, and many more viewing and editing capability for TIFF documents.

Black Ice Software's recent release of Tiff Viewer 13.00 includes several new features related to legacy systems.

• Open old-style JPEG files using TIFF Tags (513).
• Open Legacy IBM MO:DCA IOCA files.
• Open unknown file types as a Text file.
• The File type detection (.TIF, .TIFF, .JPG, .PNG) is now detected by the file content and Tiff Viewer no longer relies on the file extension.

Complete MODI Replacement!

With Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) reaching End of Life, it is no longer consider to be HIPAA compliant. The Black Ice Tiff Viewer is capable of viewing, editing and printing scanned/faxed TIFF images and other image types, resulting in an ideal substitute for MODI. When paired with the Black Ice Printer Drivers users can convert any file format to Tiff, PDF and more. The evaluation copy of both solutions is fully functional for 15 days with free priority technical support during your evaluation. Once the demo period is over you may contact our sales team for information on how to obtain a license.
