Scanning with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text
Searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special forms of an Adobe PDF file. sPDF creates a PDF image with a searchable text layer. nPDF creates a PDF file that can be edited in a PDF editing program.
To scan with sPDF or nPDF:
1.Open the One Touch Properties window.
2.Select a One Touch button to scan using the sPDF or nPDF file type.
3.Select a Destination Application that uses a text format as the page format.
Not all applications will open PDF files. You can scan as a PDF file to the destination applications PaperPort, Transfer to Storage, Burn to CD, eMail, Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe® Acrobat® Reader®.
