Open TAC File

A TAC (Text Analysis Conference) file is primarily associated with GRIDgen, a high-quality computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application used by engineers and researchers around the world. Another purpose of a TAC file is in the Scitex Continuous Tone (CT) format, which was developed by Scitex, now Esko.

Using TAC Files with GRIDgen

A TAC file in the context of GRIDgen is a type of script that holds instructions for automating tasks. These files are used to automate the CFD grid generation process in the GRIDgen application. They can be opened using the associated GRIDgen application. However, please note that access to this specific application might be necessary in order to fully utilize the files. They can be created or opened using macros in the application, letting users customize their tasks.

TAC Files in Scitex Continuous Tone Format

On the other hand, a TAC file might also stand for a file that is created in Scitex Continuous Tone (CT) format. Such TAC files are typically produced by high-end image processors for printing applications and they contain high-resolution, continuous-tone bitmap graphics. These files are used within the commercial printing industry to ensure images are at the optimum quality for printing.

To use and open a TAC file in this format, you�ll need specific graphic software that supports the Scitex CT format. Programs like Adobe Photoshop can open and process TAC files with Scitex plugins. You can download the plugin from Adobe�s website.
