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 converts scanned text into the PDF format with text search and OCR capabilities. nPDF has those same features, plus you can edit the text in an nPDF document if you have a PDF editing program.The two PDF formats can also produce images with different image quality, so you may want to experiment with them to determine which is better for your scanned documents. sPDF and nPDF are only available as format options if you have the OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software installed on your computer.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:

1.Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2.Select a Destination Application that has PDF as an available file type.

Adobe® Acrobat®, PaperPort and Transfer to Storage are some Destination Applications that you can scan to as the PDF file type.

3.Right-click on the text format icon.

This sample shows the menu when the Button’s Destination Application is Transfer to Storage. The menu for other Destination Applications, such as PaperPort, do not have as many options.
