3.6 Saving Scanned Images in PDF Format
You can create PDF files from the scanned document images by either of the following two ways:
● From ScandAll PRO
Recommended for scanning in color or grayscale mode.
You can:
❍ Reduce the size of PDF files.
❍ Create PDF files with facility.
● From Adobe Acrobat
Recommended when you want to create PDF files quickly and when you scan documents in black-and-white mode.
You can:
❍ Create PDF files at an original resolutionin in a short time.
❍ Create PDF files compressed to a desired size by changing compression rates.
The file size of color documents increases if scanned by following a general procedure. You can drastically reduce the
size if you run Acrobat Distiller before saving. For details, see "HINT" in Step 7 of the "From Adobe Acrobat" section.
ATTENTION
Notes on the use of Adobe Acrobat
● As Adobe Acrobat's settings override the settings of the scanner driver, such as
[Resolution], [Scan Type], and [Image Mode] , the scanned image may not be
displayed as configured with the previous settings in the scanner driver.
● The following functions cannot be used:
❍ [256 Color] or [8 Color]
❍ [Rotation Degree] when [End of Page Detection] is selected
❍ Long Page Scanning
❍ Automatic Page Size Detection
● When scanning a paper document and converting the scanned document image to PDF
by using Acrobat, unexpected images may be output when:
1. Setting [Edge Shadow Removal] in Acrobat, and setting [Digital Endorser] or
[Black Background] options in the TWAIN driver at the same time. Character
strings on images or part of background may be missed.
Solution 1: In Acrobat, select [File] → [Create PDF] → [From Scanner...] →
[Image Settings...], and set [Edge shadow removal] to [OFF] or set [Color/
Grayscale] and/or [Monochrome] under [Compression] to a setting other than
[Adaptive].
Solution 2: Adjust the scanning density in the TWAIN driver.
2. Setting [Color/Grayscale] and/or [Monochrome] to [Adaptive] under
[Compression] in Acrobat and scanning documents in a resolution lower than
the recommended resolution for Acrobat.
Solution: Set [Color/Grayscale] and/or [Monochrome] to a setting other than
[Adaptive] under [Compression].
3. Setting [Overscan] in the TWAIN driver because a document longer than the
double letter (11x17 in.) or A3 size cannot be loaded in Acrobat.
Solution: When scanning a double letter (11x17 in.) or A3 size document, do
not set [Overscan] in TWAIN driver.
For more information on Acrobat, including the use of Acrobat, refer to "Create a PDF
file from a scanned document" in Acrobat Help.
