Properties dialog box, you can add metadata, or information about the scanned document, to the PDF file. If you are

Scanner Options dialog box
Data Transfer Method Native Mode transfers in the default mode for your scanner. Memory Mode is automatically
selected for scanning in resolutions over 600 dots per inch (dpi).
User Interface The Hide Scanner’s Native Interface option bypasses the windows and dialog boxes provided by the
scanner manufacturer. Instead, scanning from Acrobat opens the Custom Scan dialog box.
Invert Black And White Images This option creates positive images from black-and-white negatives, for example.
Optimization Options dialog box
The Optimization Options dialog box for image settings controls how scanned images are filtered and compressed for
the PDF. Default settings are suitable for a wide range of document pages, but you may want to customize settings for
higher-quality images, smaller file sizes, or scanning issues.
Automatic Applies default settings to balance file size and quality at a moderate level.
• Aggressive Applies settings that minimize file size. In some cases, selecting this option may visibly affect the quality
of the scanned PDF.
Custom Settings Makes additional settings available under Compression and Filtering and disables the Aggressive
setting under Automatic. If you select Custom Settings, the Color/Grayscale or Monochrome settings are available,
depending on the option you selected in the Acrobat Scan dialog box.
Color/Grayscale settings When scanning color or grayscale pages, select one of the following:
• Lossless Does not apply compression or filters—such as Deskew, Background Removal, and so forth—to scanned
pages.
