Question:
When I scan a document, to I have to keep the resulting file in the format that the scanner outputs, or can I convert it to a different format?
Answer:
You can convert scanned files to a format that is more convenient for you. One popular file format is PDF, because it is universally used, and has excellent compression properties. Most scanners, however, produce TIFF files, so you would need conversion software to do the job. To process many files, you might need conversion software with batch processing. One solution that can convert files to PDF from other formats is PdfCompressor from CVISION. PdfCompressor can also reduce the file size to make it more convenient.
