Re: [PDF] Scanning directly to PDF

[michael . vorel]

Acrobat Capture 3 Cluster Edition (unlimited pages) or Personal Edition (Dongles in 20,000 page increments) allows you name files at the document level or use an incremental naming convention if you want to batch documents while scanning. Page size recognition is supported. TIFF pages are discrete and PDF files are page centric/document inclusive. This is an automated workflow process that only requires you to set up your document treatment rules one time and then select the document profile when you start the scanning process. If the resultant PDF files need compression, you may establish downstream processes to linearize or convert the PDF/image files to PDF/JPEG or PDF/JBIG2. There are several tools available in the market to assist in this compression routine.

Sam,
I am using the File - Import - Scan feature to scan directly to SINGLE page
tiff files. I have quite a bit of documents to scan and it would just make
better sense to scan to TIFF and use a ACDSee to rename the files. Would go
much faster that way.Besides I have run into this senario before and I need
an application that will allow me to scan to TIFF and hold the size and
resolution when converting to PDF.
I have a Bell and Howell 2000D FB scannner. I am scanning to 300 dpi, B&W.
Any ideas.........anyone?

Sincerely,

Stan Drew

> In the past I have always scanned directly to PDF, and that has worked out
just fine. In this particular case I have about 5000 8�x11 documents that I
needed to scan to PDF. Instead of scanning them one at a time I used a
program called ACDSee to batch scan to single page tiff, rename the files
and used Acrobat 5 to batch convert them to PDF. I thought this would have
worked out fine.but the sizes were all out of wack. Instead of 8�x11, the
sizes wound up being 25.5"x34.38", and if that wasn't bad enough the quality
of the PDF was terrible, although the TIFF image looked just fine.
