[OCR] Tab
You can configure settings so that PDF files are converted into searchable text when they are
created from scanned document images.
Unless OCR (optical character recognition) is turned on, scanned document images are
saved as PDF files in a format that computers cannot recognize, or in other words they are
not made searchable. Through OCR, text on the image is recognized and text information is
embedded into the image, making the image file searchable.
(Note that, if you turn on OCR, scanning takes time longer than if you do not.)
[Convert into Searchable PDF] Checkbox
The scanned document images are converted into searchable PDF files and saved.
Language
You can select a language to use for text recognition from the following:
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Traditional/
Simplified Chinese,Portuguese, Russian.
[Make only the first page searchable] Checkbox
When scanning a document containing multiple pages, you can make only the first
page searchable. If this checkbox is marked, the time required is shorter than the
time required for the conversion of all pages.
[Security] Tab
You can enhance security by setting a password for PDF files.
Once a password is added, you cannot open the PDF files unless you enter a correct
password, which you type in in this dialog box.
