Searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special forms of an
Adobe PDF file. sPDF converts scanned text into the PDF format with text
search and OCR capabilities. nPDF has those same features, plus you can
edit the text in an nPDF document if you have a PDF editing program.The
two PDF formats can also produce images with different image quality, so
you may want to experiment with them to determine which is better for
your scanned documents. sPDF and nPDF are only available as format
options if you have the OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage
Pro software installed on your computer.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:
1.

Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2.

Select a Destination Application that has PDF as an available file type.

Adobe® Acrobat®, PaperPort and Transfer to Storage are some
Destination Applications that you can scan to as the PDF file type.

3.

Right-click on the text format icon.

This sample shows the menu when the Button’s Destination
Application is Transfer to Storage. The menu for other Destination
Applications, such as PaperPort, do not have as many options.
