(of course, doPDF is what you'll need for all your non-office documents, eg. printing from the internet, CAD programs, etcetera :-) </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/scan-document-gt-ocr-gt-searchable-pdf#post-259 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 06:50:40 +0000 Softland 259@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>As an example, if you got a letter from the President, you would want to retain the 'original' document e.g. preseve letter head etc</p></blockquote> <p>I would say it depends which president you got that from :).</p> <p>Anyway, I can't think of another solution for having the scanned document converted. It would be tedious, but if you have the text saved in a word document you could include the letter head as an image in the word document (cropping it from your scan image). </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/scan-document-gt-ocr-gt-searchable-pdf#post-258 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:48:35 +0000 anon 258@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Microsoft Office Document Imaging has only option to save as TIFF or .mdi file (2003 ed). So no option to save as RTF file. However, it does have the option to save as a Word file. However, there is a problem with approach is that I loose the entire document e.g letter head. All it does it copy the text. As an example, if you got a letter from the President, you would want to retain the 'original' document e.g. preseve letter head etc... </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/scan-document-gt-ocr-gt-searchable-pdf#post-253 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:52:06 +0000 Softland 253@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I don't know if MODI allows you to save in an .rtf format (or .doc) after performing OCR, but if it doesn't you could copy/paste the OCR-ed document into word and convert it with doPDF from there - this should make it searchable. When you convert TIFF to PDF it will be converted as an image, that's why you have to use the rtf solution. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/scan-document-gt-ocr-gt-searchable-pdf#post-252 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:22:15 +0000 anon 252@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I have scanned in a letter, but I want to create a PDF so that I can post it on a web site, but I also want the PDF to be 'searchable'.</p> <p>I have used Microsoft Office Document Imaging and it has created a TIFF file and the OCR has been performed. But when I use doPDF, it creates the PDF as an image and not Searchable PDF. So If I do find the word "Dear", it does not find anythign because it treats it like an image.</p> <p>Any solutions? </p>
