Create PDFs using Scanner
Foxit PDF Editor allows you to create a PDF directly from a paper document using your
scanner. You can scan a document to PDF directly with custom settings or by using
preset preferences that you configured before.
See also the tutorial on Scan Documents into PDF.
Scan with custom settings
To scan a document to PDF with custom settings, please follow as below:
1. Choose File > Create > From Scanner > the From Scanner button > the Scan
command, or choose Convert > From Scanner > Scan, or choose Home > the
Scan button > the Scan command.
2. Select a scanner and related options in the Scan dialog box.
Note: You must have the manufacturer’s scanning software installed on your
computer.
Advanced Options: clicks to open the Scanner Options dialog box. (Available only
after you select a scanner.)
Transfer Mechanism: Native mode transfers data by default in your scanner.
Buffered memory mode scans in resolutions of over 600DPI.
Configure scanner:
Configure scanner using scanner interface: Checks this option and directly
use the scanner interface to scan. Then the following items (i.e. Source, Color
Mode, Paper Size and Resolution) will not be available and the settings in the
scanner interface will not be able to saved as a preset.
Prompt to scan more pages: selects this option, a dialog box will pop up to
ask you whether to scan more pages whenever the scanning completes. If the
option is unselected, for single-sided printing, you’ll not be prompted once the
scanning completes.
Sides: Specify single or double-sided scanning. If you select Both Sides but the
settings of the scanner are for only one side, the scanner setting overrides the
Foxit settings.
Source: select the input source for scanning, including Auto Detect, Feeder,
and Flatbed. If you select Auto Detect, Foxit PDF Editor will detect the input
source for scanning automatically. If documents are placed in both feeder and
flatbed, both of them will be scanned, but the one in feeder will be scanned
first by default.
