Question
:
What scanner will let you scan directly to PDF? |
| |
|
 |
Answer :
Any scanner that we carry can scan a file to PDF. All document scanners come with software that can create PDF images.
However, if you want to create full-text searchable PDF files, you will either need to get a scanner that can automatically create searchable PDF's or add OCR software.
If you don't already have a scanner, and scanning to searchable PDF files is the only thing you want to do, you will find many scanners that can perform this function. The Avision AW210 is the most affordable desktop scanning solution available that can scan to searchable PDF.
To create searchable PDFs with any TWAIN compliant scanner, use OCR software applications like FineReader, ReadIRIS, or OmniPage. These programs can also be used to convert images to MS Word, Excel, and other editable formats.
You can find a large selection of scanners on our Scanners page, as well as more information on choosing the best scanner for your requirements on the Scanners Guide page. You can also find a general introductory guide to OCR software here. |
