Scan Documents ((FREE))

In Windows, if a WIA driver is installed for your scanner, you can use the Scan button to create a PDF. Press the Scan button, then select Adobe Acrobat from the list of registered applications in Windows. Then, select a scanner and a document preset or Custom Scan in the Acrobat scan interface.

If you specify that you want to use the Show scanner's user interface instead of the Acrobat user interface, other windows or dialog boxes appear. Consult the scanner documentation information on available options. In Mac OS, the scanner user interface is always shown.

Select this option only if you want to see the settings using the windows and dialog boxes provided by the scanner manufacturer. When the option is not selected, scanning starts directly with the settings specified in the Custom Scan or Configure Predefined Settings interface.

You can scan both sides of pages even on scanners that do not themselves support two-sided scanning. When Both Sides is selected, a dialog box appears after the first sides are scanned. You can then reverse the original paper documents in the tray, and select the Scan Reverse Side (Put Reverse Of Sheets) option in that dialog box. This method produces a PDF with all pages in the proper sequence.

Select a basic color mode (Autodetect, Color, Black and White, or Grayscale) that your scanner supports. This option is enabled if your Scanner Options are set to use the Acrobat scanning dialog box instead of the scanner application.

Select this option to run the optimization process on the PDF. This option is used to compress and filter the images in the scanned PDF. Select the Settings icon to customize optimization with specific file compression and filtering settings.

Select this option to convert text images in the PDF to searchable and selectable text. This option applies optical character recognition (OCR) and font and page recognition to the text images. Select the Settings icon and specify settings in the Recognize Text - Settings dialog box. View Recognize text in scanned documents.

When selected, the Document Properties dialog box appears after scanning. In the Document Properties dialog box, you can add metadata, or information about the scanned document, to the PDF file. If you are creating multiple files, you can enter common metadata for all the files.

The Enhance Scanned PDF dialog box controls the image settings of how scanned images are filtered and compressed for the PDF. Default settings are suitable for a wide range of document pages, but you may want to customize settings for higher-quality images, smaller file sizes, or scanning issues.

Divides each page into black-and-white, grayscale, and color regions and chooses a representation that preserves appearance while highly compressing each type of content. The recommended scanning resolutions are 300 dots per inch (dpi) for grayscale and RGB input, or 600 dpi for black-and-white input.

Acrobat scanning accepts images between 10 dpi and 3000 dpi. If you select Searchable Image or ClearScan for PDF Output Style, an input resolution of 72 dpi or higher is required. Also, input resolution higher than 600 dpi is downsampled to 600 dpi or lower.

Lossless compressions can only be applied to monochrome images. To apply lossless compression to a scanned image, select one of these options under the Optimization Options in the Optimize Scanned PDF dialog box: CCITT Group 4 or JBIG2 (Lossless) for monochrome images. If this image is appended to a PDF document, and you save the file using the Save option, the scanned image remains uncompressed. The scanned image may be compressed if you save the PDF using Save As.

For most pages, black-and-white scanning at 300 dpi produces text best suited for conversion. At 150 dpi, OCR accuracy is slightly lower, and more font-recognition errors occur; at 400 dpi and higher resolution, processing slows, and compressed pages are bigger. If a page has many unrecognized words or small text (9 points or smaller), try scanning at a higher resolution. Scan in black and white whenever possible.

If your scanner has a manual brightness control, adjust it so that characters are clean and well-formed. If characters are touching, use a higher (brighter) setting. If characters are separated, use a lower (darker) setting.

You can use Acrobat to recognize text in previously scanned documents that have already been converted to PDF. Optical character recognition (OCR) software enables you to search, correct, and copy the text in a scanned PDF. The original scanner resolution must have been set at 72 dpi or higher to apply OCR to a PDF.

When you run OCR on a scanned output, Acrobat analyzes bitmaps of text and substitutes words and characters for those bitmap areas. If the ideal substitution is uncertain, Acrobat marks the word as suspect. Suspects appear in the PDF as the original bitmap of the word, but the text is included on an invisible layer behind the bitmap of the word. This method makes the word searchable even though it's displayed as a bitmap.

Note: If you try to select text in a scanned PDF that does not have OCR applied or try to perform a Read Out Loud operation on an image file, Acrobat asks if you want to run OCR. If you select OK, the Text Recognition dialog box opens, and you can select options described in detail under the previous topic.

In order to scan your documents, you will need access to a computer and scanner or a smartphone with an internet connection. If you do not have access to these, common places with this type of equipment are libraries, community centers, internet cafs, and copy shops. Note: If you choose to use a public computer, be sure to delete your scanned documents once you have finished uploading them.

Unless specifically directed to do so by the National Visa Center (NVC) please do not mail any documents to NVC. If you do, you will delay the processing of your case and risk losing any documents you send.

Include a certified translation of your document with your original (i.e. foreign language) document in a single file. Please note that a translation is not required for documents in the language of the country where your visa interview will take place.

Be clear, easily seen and read, and no parts of the document are cut off.

Most scanning programs offer a preview function so you can make sure the document is easily read. If you cannot read the scanned document, re-scan it at a higher resolution. Keep in mind this means the saved file will be larger and you may need to compress the file before you upload it.

Click on download button to download scanned document. Three download options are present. JPG, PNG and PDF. JPG and PNG will download current selected scanned page in image format. Pdf download will download all scanned document pages and applies

Also, on that note, you will need an OCR program to convert the scanned image to text.

I have had impressive results with Tesseract - on Linux it works quite well as a command-line utility, and on Windows there is a program called FreeOCR which uses the Tesseract engine to recognize the characters.

I have used it in my office for the electronic filing of a great number of older procedure documents only available on paper from before the introduction of our document management system.

May I ask why you want to store your documents as PDF? Storing your documents as PDF is not a best practice for multiple reasons. The first reason is that PDF is a versionized, proprietary format (I know that PDFa is supposed to be archival quality). The second reason is that to open a PDF, the whole document must be sent and received before it can be opened and viewed on/by the client. The third reason is that the PDF format adds more size to the document than TIFFs.

By storing in TIFF, your repository will function at optimal performance, your documents will be stored and secured with longevity in mind, and you can export them to PDF if you ever wish to send them outside of the repository.

We are planning to scan our paper documents into LF. We want all the files to be the same. We don't want some documents to be PDF and some in TIFF format because they open in Acrobat and Laserfiche respectively.

I have some documents that go through an approval process managed by a workflow and documents are often edited. It would be an extra step to download the pages in PDF, edit them, then save them to LF (currently they open the electronic file, make their edits, and save). Some users are top level executives who would not find an extra step acceptable.

However, like you said, sometimes getting the upfront buy-in is the more immediate concern. That being the case, I think your only option is going to involve a Workflow with SDK Script activities that will pick up incoming scans and generate/attach a PDF.

To add onto Bert's comments, TIFF is the preferred/native format for Laserfiche and offers several advantages, including more functionality like page counts, OCR, annotations, etc. However, in my experience PDF does not always add more size to the documents (my experience has been that the TIFF pages usually take up a lot more space than the PDF equivalent).

In our environment, we store documents with both the TIFF pages and an attached PDF because we have a lot of very large documents and pre-rendering a compressed PDF substantially improved retrieval times for the end users who access documents via a third party application.

If you have an absolute need to store PDF documents, you can accomplish that with a Workflow SDK script to generate and attach the PDF to the LF document, but I wouldn't go down that path unless you have some critical need for storing PDF because like Bert mentioned you can always export to PDF when needed without losing the additional functionality of TIFF pages.

There is a very handy scanning feature of Apple Notes on the iPhone/iPad which doesn't require you to leave the app and scan a receipt, document etc into the notes app. Currently in Notion, I'd have to use a third-party scanner app, save to Files (OneDrive, Dropbox...) then embed or attach from the Notion app. It works but is a 3-step process. Whereas in Apple Notes it's a one-step process without leaving the notes you are writing. ff782bc1db
