INDEX

This specifies whether to use compression when writing the PDF file.

PDF compression uses the JPEG format internally when writing PDF files with more

than one bit per pixel. If this option is set to 'Maximum', additional JPEG compression

is used (level 75) otherwise minimal JPEG compression is used (level 90).

Advanced Option: This option is displayed whenOutput | PDF file (p. 84) is set.

Output | PDF paper size

This option describes the page size to be used in PDF files. If the image size is larger

than the page size, then a larger page size is used, otherwise the image is centered on

the page.

Basic Option: This option is displayed whenOutput | PDF file (p. 84) is set.

Output | PDF profile

This specifies whether to embed an ICC color profile into the PDF file. This is primarily

useful if you're using Photoshop(TM). You can specify the profile to use by

settingColor | Output color space (p. 75).

Advanced Option: This option is displayed whenOutput | PDF file (p. 84) is set.

Output | PDF OCR text

This option creates searchable PDF files. VueScan's Optical Character Recognition

(OCR) feature detects where each word is located on the page, and overlays this text

on top of the image of the page. You can then use the search capability of any PDF

viewer to find the text within the PDF document.

This will also let your operating system index your PDF files so you can look for

documents based on the text within them.

Use the Output | OCR text language (p. 87)option to choose the language of the text.

This will improve the quality of non-English OCR. Only characters that are in the

windows-1252 character set (basically Western European languages) will be written to

the PDF file.

Basic Option: This option is always displayed for flatbed scanners and when scanning

microfilm.

Output | OCR text file

This Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature writes the text from a scanned image

to a normal text file that can be edited with any text editor.

Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
