Scanning with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text
Searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special
forms of an Adobe PDF file. sPDF converts scanned text into the
PDF format with text search and OCR capabilities. nPDF has those
same features, plus you can edit the text in an nPDF image if you
have a PDF editing program.The two PDF formats can also
produce images with different image quality, so you may want to
experiment with them to determine which is better for your scanned
documents. sPDF and nPDF are only available as page format
options if you have the One Touch OmniPage module or the
OmniPage Pro software installed on your computer.
To scan with sPDF or nPDF:
1. Open the One Touch Properties window.
2. Using the arrows, choose a One Touch button to use for the
sPDF or nPDF scanning.
3. Select a Destination Application that uses a text format as the
page format.
4. Right-click on the text format icon.
5. Choose the Searchable PDF or Normal PDF option for the
page format.
