True Page (TP)—This output format keeps the original layout of
the pages, including columns. This is done with text, picture and
table boxes and frames. True page is offered only for target
applications capable of handling the formatting. True Page
formatting is the only choice for XML export and for all PDF
export, except to the file type “PDF Edited”.

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 image 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 page format options if you have installed OmniPage Pro on
your computer.

To scan with sPDF or nPDF:
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.

2. Using the arrows, choose a OneTouch button to use for the sPDF

or nPDF scanning.

Note: If you did not install the OmniPage Pro software as part of the
scanner installation, and you choose to install it at this time, you may
have to restart your computer before the sPDF and nPDF formats are
available in the OneTouch software.

Note: Buttons 1, 2, and 7 are set up to scan directly to a storage
location on your computer. When scanning to storage, all file
types—including sPDF and nPDF—are available.
