3. How to Use ScanSnap
This chapter describes basic operation of ScanSnap.
3.1. Scanning Documents
With “ScanSnap” you can turn paper office documents on
your desk into digital files and save them just by pressing a
single button. The scanned image can be viewed on the
screen using the supplied applications (Adobe Acrobat,
CardMinder).
Two typical usages are:
Create digital backups of general office documents in PDF
format.
You can edit them later using Adobe Acrobat. Adobe
Acrobat allows you to make full use of the scanned
information by using the OCR (Recognize Text Using OCR)
function to recognize the image of the text portion, the
security function to set passwords, etc.
(Note: For information on using Adobe Acrobat, please
refer to [Adobe Acrobat Help].)
Scan and manage business cards. With “CardMinder”, scan,
recognize and edit business cards, and export the data to a
popular personal information manager application such as
Outlook.
