6.6 How to scan a book?
First, watch the Demo Video that shows you how to hold the book for a proper scan. You can watch it at any time: simply click Demo
Video in the Ribbon (tab Book).
With the option Finger hiding checked, your fingers that are positioned as in the demo video are hidden.
To scan a Book into one PDF file, follow these steps:
1. Click on the Book tab in the Ribbon;
2. Set the Scan Interval to 'Automatic'. This instructs the software to self-detect the page flipping process. You can also use the
'Repeat (5/7 sec)' options to let the software repeatedly capture images after 5 or 7 seconds.)
Tip: The book mode offers you to capture a Front Cover and a Back Cover: Click Front Cover in the Preview thumbnails, then Scan.
Click Back Cover, then Scan. Selecting those covers disable some parameters in the ribbon. Simply unselect to enable the access
to those parameters again.
3. Check the Finger hiding box
4. Set the Image Settings feature option to 'Color (Original)';
5. Set the Output format to 'PDF Searchable';
6. Set the Sort by 'Serial' or 'Date & Time';
7. Click Scan to capture one double page, then you should see a new double page has been added on the left side in the
Preview thumbnails; Click Stop if you have chosen Scan Interval 'Automatic' or 'Repeat' and you want to stop the scanning.
8. After all pages have been captured, click on Export. The Export Settings window opens.
9. Select Merge left and right pages (default selection).
10. Click Export. A new PDF file has been created in the Output column (right).
During the image capture process, you can manipulate the temporary images on the Preview thumbnails column, such as move an
image up or down the list, or delete the image. You also have access to the buttons Clear all or unselect/select all thumbnails.
