The Scan and Recognize feature allows you to create a document directly from your scanner. As the file is being created, the OCR engine will be used to make any text editable. Click here for more information on OCR.
- Open the OCR Module and choose Scan and Recognize.
- Select the scanner you would like to use from the list of available scanners. PDF Suite will detect any scanner plugged into your computer. It looks for the drivers of any scanners set up in your Control Panel. The default scanner will be the same as the rest of your computer.
- Check the box next to Native Interface if you would prefer to work within the software associated with the scanner instead.
- Choose the Paper Size from the list in the dropdown.
- Choose the Resolution, dpi for your scan.
- Choose your Color Mode and decide if it should scan both sides of the page or not.
- If you are scanning more than one page, check the box next to Prompt for Scanning More Pages.
- Open the Output section.
- Check the Deskew scan option if you want to correct any skew or tilt in the scanned document, making the text easier to read and recognize accurately.
- Click on the folder icon to choose where the file will be saved.
- Now that everything is set up, click on Scan. PDF Suite will now scan your file and create the PDF.
