It also converts the searchable files into PDFs for improved usability.

Question:
I have a bunch of scanned documents on my computer, but I really can’t do anything with them because the files are too big, and the computer can’t recognize the text anyway, so they are pretty useless to me at this point. What can I do to make them more convenient?

Answer:
Your scanned documents are probably in TIFF format, which can be converted to PDF to make it easier to work with. PDF files can be compressed without any information loss, becoming web-friendly and compatible with email. You can then use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program to identify the characters in the text, so that your documents become text-searchable and editable. Once you’ve OCRed the text, you can locate relevant documents just by typing in a keyword. CVISION’s PdfCompressor can perform all of these steps for you. All you have to do is place the document on the scanner.

Question:
I can’t figure out how to use my scanner software properly. Can you please tell me how to scan to PDF?

Answer:
The question of how to scan to PDF is a very common one. If your scanner’s software supports scanning to PDF, then you should be able to do so simply by choosing an option to scan to PDF. If you can’t figure it out, your scanner’s instructions should tell you how to scan to PDF. If not, you can always convert your scanned files to PDFs. CVISION’s PdfCompressor can convert scanned documents to PDF, and also compress them drastically and make them text-searchable

Question:
I know it’s been around for a while, but I’m still in the dark about what PDFs are. I run across them all the time on the internet, but have no real concept of what a PDF is, although I think it stands for portable document format.

Answer:
PDF does indeed stand for portable document format. It is a file format developed by Adobe Systems for the easy sharing of digital documents. In order to read PDF files, you need a PDF reader program; you can download one for free online.
