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®.

4.Right-click on the text format icon.

5.Choose the Searchable PDF or Normal PDF option for the page format.

6.Choose a Scan Configuration. Click OK.

7.Now scan with that button and the scanned document will be in the sPDF or nPDF format that was selected for the button.

8.To search for the text, open Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® or Adobe® Acrobat®.

9.From the Adobe Acrobat File menu choose Open, and open the file you just scanned.

10.Now use the Adobe® Acrobat® features to find or edit the text you want.

See the Adobe Acrobat user manual for more about finding text in a PDF file, or about editing PDF text.
