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 image 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 page format options if you have installed OmniPage Pro on your computer.

Note: If you did not install the OmniPage Pro software as part of the scanner installation, and you choose to install it at this time, you may have to restart your computer before the sPDF and nPDF formats are available in the OneTouch software.

Note: Buttons 1, 2, and 7 are set up to scan directly to a storage location on your computer. When scanning to storage, all file types—including sPDF and nPDF—are available.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:

1.Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2.Using the arrows, choose a OneTouch button to use for the sPDF or nPDF scanning.
