If I use this scanner for a document, will I be able to edit/change the text in the document if I save it as a pdf?

No you will not be able to, but you may highlight the pdf text, copy, and drop it into a word doc for editing
1418962
Yes,you can have it edit once you installed the gift OCR software we send our customers in the CD

If you have photoshop you can open a PDF, erase what you want, insert text if you happen to know the font. The only other option is to have a program that knows how to convert PDFs to Microsoft Word documents.

Yes, it comes with an application that is very versatile. You can scan several pages into a single document, reorder the pages, delete some of them and insert pages from other PDF documents.

Sven Golly, does it not do scan to PDF anymore? My old one (I'm looking for a replacement) used to go directly to PDF and after copy-paste, you could edit the text.

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

You can append pdf, but you have to switch software. I scan docs with the ScanSnap S1500 manager (from button in tray) then use Paperport 14 for manipulating and filing - if necessary. It would be preferable if it had a twain driver so I could do everything from within Paperport. But relatively speaking, this is a minor incovenience - for me. I can see it could be a bit of a headache for others.

Yes if you have all of the documents on-hand, simply scan all of them and then assign a name.If you scan several documents into, for example a PDF, and than want to add more - I'm fairly sure the scanning software does NOT have any provision for editing a previous documents. If you had a full copy of Adobe PDF (not just the reader) then you could scan the second group of documents as a second PDF and then use Adobe PDF to merge the two PDFs into one.

The question as it stands doesn't make any sense. What do you mean 'scan to PDF'? Do you mean how do you save a file in PDF format?

You can easily scan a mufti-page document to PDF using the ADF (automatic document feeder) and included software. I prefer to use Adobe Acrobat professional to do the task (Create PDF with scanner) as it works best in my workflow. Tip: the Paperport software included really sucks and uses non-standard formats for saving documents. There is an option on installing the drivers to skip it. I recommend you do as it adds startup overhead for software you will never use.

Does it allow you to scan documents to an PDF file? I work as an inspector for a utility company and need a scanner to convert docs to PDF files to send to Project Manager from my home office. I used a flat bed scanner at Kinko's and was going to purchase an Epson V500 until I saw this all in one. Which one? Thanks.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, so I'm not sure if this answer will be helpful to you. The scanner does not automatically convert a PDF file to a TIF image. To convert a PDF to TIF with this (or any) scanner, you would need to print the PDF, then scan the printed page(s) and save the scan as a TIF image. To a large extent, the choice of image formats that you can save to will be determined by whatever software you use.

Yes. Once the first file is saved to a specific folder, the scanner defaults the image to save to that folder the next time, and will point to that folder until you navigate to save the image to a different folder. I like programming the "scan" button to scan using the PDF scanner driver (go to Control Panel >> Devices and Printers >> right click the Fujitsu scanner >> Properties).

You can scan individual pages and collate into (1) PDF file. Insofar as moving on surface you're probably thinking of a hand held scanner that you move over document.

I had the same issue until I open a software program and scan it and it appear on that program as a file that I can edit. I advise you to open a program and then use the m.scanner. it works like a normal scanner.

It does convert to PDF, I can't say if it will work without Adobe since I have Adobe installed.

Dear Julie:The answer to your question is Yes. Here is how it works, when you install the scanner software on your computer, you would then set up the scanner's settings by specifying your preferences on how the scanner should scan its input paper pages and in what format it should save its scanned images (e.g.; PDF or JPEG or GIF, etc). You could also set up different profiles; one profile for scanning color images and another for scanning text based documents. Basically the scanning software that comes with Fujitsu scanners provide a lot of flexibility on how to scan input papers and how to save the result. I hope the above helped answer your question.RegardsMichael Director, Shabmeh Store Dear Julie:The answer to your question is Yes.

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from havinga sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much fasterthan using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makesa rather hard to use file.

Using the software that comes with the scanner, you can go into the File Save Settings and under Image Format select if you want .jpg, .pdf, .tif, or .bmp file.In other words, Yes, you can save your files as such:)
