Re: Scanning pages to PDF file |
|
|
Actually a would do it twice one scan hi res 600dpi or better if it is B/W
the TIF file would be perfect an burn it on CD just for safe keeping.
As far as posting text documents on website, PDF is way to go, scan it 400
dpi in text mode which is black and white not gray scale, depending in your
scanner save it to TIF or PDF, if your hardware can't save PDF open Acrobat
take the TIFs and drop them on top of it , Acrobat will convert them to
separate pages in one PDF.
Now here is the trick:
Once you have created PDF (you may want to save extra copy for the usual
reasons).
Inside acrobat under:
Document
Paper Capture
Start Capture
Make sure you have primary OCR Language set to German, Output style
Searchable Image (Exact) rest is up to you.
(this is for Acrobat 6.0 you can do this in 5.0 but I think you need some
plugin)
This will make the Acrobat to do text recognition and put the text behind
the scanned picture so you can search for it or do copy / paste operation.
Depending on your web hosting place, there is service in windows server 2000
and up, that can be set to search PDF so if some one is looking for word or
name it will bring the file and page where the text is located.
For Pictures I would use JPG just be careful with resolution (keep the
original TIFs)

question.
I have a fairly large (approx 70 pages or so) and very unique document
pertaining to WWII historical records that I'd like to scan into an
Adobe Acrobat file to put it on my Web site. I normally use CorelDraw
for purposes such as that, and I can do so this time, but I note that
scanned pages usually take up an awful lot of file space, even when
formated as PDF. Does anyone have suggestions as to settings or
software alternative to CorelDraw that will give better compression?
The scanned pages will initially be JPEG format, and I've tried a bunch
of different options to try to minimize file size output by CorelDraw.
I've also tried using Adobe Distiller from a PostScript output (.prn)
file, but the size seems to be much larger that way.
TIA
