Available Output Formats
Below you find an overview of the supported output formats.
PDF
PDF stands for "Portable Document Format". It is a format developed by Adobe Systems Inc.
to facilitate document exchange. PDF files are device-independent and resolution-
independent, and can be opened on any Operating System (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS,
Android, etc.) PDF files are mostly used for storage purposes. Note that the content of PDF
files cannot be edited (easily).
With Readiris you can generate 4 types of PDF files:
o PDF Image-Text (= PDF Searchable Image) This file type is most commonly used. It
contains two layers: the recognized text, and the original image on top of the text.
This way, you have both access to the recognized text and you still see the original
image.
Note: since the image covers the text, any recognition mistakes will not be visible.
o PDF Image. When you select this file type, Readiris doesn't execute the text
recognition on your document. Your PDF file will not be text-searchable, it only
contains the image of your original document.
o PDF Text-Image (Readiris Corporate only). This file type is the opposite of PDF
Image-Text. It contains the original image in the background, and the recognized
text on top of the image.
Note: any recognition mistakes will be visible in this format.
o PDF Text (Readiris Corporate only). This file type contains the recognized text, but
does not contain the original image of your document. Any images in the original
document are included as graphics in the PDF file.
Note: many options are available for PDF files. Readiris can generate hyper-compressed PDF
files, password-protected PDF files, digitally signed PDF files, PDF/A-compliant PDF files. See
the section Selecting the PDF Options
for more information.
Tip: with Readiris you can also turn Image PDFs into text-searchable PDFs.
XPS
XPS stands for XML Paper Specification. It is a fixed-layout document format designed by
Microsoft Inc. to preserve document fidelity. XPS files - just like PDF files - are mostly used
for storage purposes. Note that the content of XPS files cannot be edited (easily).
With Readiris you can generate 4 types of XPS files:
