Saving Scanned Images in PDF Format
There are two ways to create a PDF file.
By ScandAll PRO
Recommended when other functions are being used to process the
scanned image according to the business needs, or when scanning in
color or grayscale mode.
z Reduce the file size of the PDF by changing the compression rate
z Easily create PDF files without any special operation
By Adobe Acrobat
Recommended when you want to create PDF files quickly, or when
scanning in binary mode (black & white).
z Quickly create PDF data in the same resolution as the original image
z Create PDF data of an arbitrary size by changing the compression
rate
Although the data size is usually very large for color documents, you can
drastically reduce the data size by using Acrobat Distiller before saving
the image.
For more details, refer to "How to reduce the file size by Acrobat
Distiller" (page 71).
Notes on the use of Adobe Acrobat
z For [Resolution], [Scan Type], and [Image Mode], Adobe
Acrobat's settings are given priority over the scanner driver
settings, thus the scanned image may not be displayed as
previously configured in the scanner driver.
z The following functions are not available:
- [256 Color] and [8 Color] modes
- [Rotation Degree] specified when [End of Page Detection]
is selected
- Long page scanning
- Automatic Page Size Detection
- Multi image output
- [Automatic] in [Rotation Degree]
z When you use Adobe Acrobat to scan and convert a
document into PDF, the output image may not turn out as
intended.
- When you enable [Edge shadow removal] in Acrobat and
[Digital Endorser] or [White Background] option in TWAIN
driver, character strings embedded in the image or the
background may be lost.
Solution 1
:
1 In Acrobat, select [File] J [Create PDF] J [From
Scanner] J [Custom Scan].
2 In the [Custom Scan] dialog box, click the [Options]
button next to the [Small Size/High Quality] slide bar
under [Document].
3 In the [Optimization Options] dialog box, either set
[Edge shadow removal] to [Off], or set [Color/
Grayscale] and [Monochrome] under [Compression] to
a setting other than [Adaptive].
Solution 2
:
Adjust the scanning density of the TWAIN driver.
- When you scan in a resolution lower than Adobe’s
recommended resolution with [Color/Grayscale] and/or
[Monochrome] under [Compression] set to [Adaptive] in
Acrobat, the output image may not be satisfactory.
Solution
:
Under [Compression], set [Color/Grayscale] and/or
[Monochrome] to a setting other than [Adaptive].
