You have five choices when saving to Portable Document Format
(PDF) files.
PDF (Normal):
Pages are exported as they appeared in the Text Editor in
True Page. The PDF file can be viewed and searched in a PDF viewer and
edited in a PDF editor.
PDF Edited:
Use this if you have made significant editing changes in
the recognition results. You have three formatting level choices, including
True Page. The PDF file can be viewed, searched and edited.
PDF Searchable Image:
The PDF file is viewable only and cannot be modified in a
PDF editor. The original page images are exported, but there is a linked
text file behind each image, so the text can be searched. A found word
is highlighted in the image.
PDF with image substitutes:
As for PDF (Normal), but reject and suspect characters have
image overlays, so these uncertain characters display as they were in
the original document. The PDF file can be viewed, searched and edited.
PDF Image:
The original page images are exported. The PDF file is viewable
only and cannot be modified in a PDF editor and text cannot be searched.
PDF saving options
Display the PDF converter
options dialog box either from Tools > Saving Preferences, or at
saving time, from the Save to File dialog
box. Select a PDF file type, click Options
and make the necessary choices.
The MRC
high compression technology is available
for color and grayscale PDF Image or for PDF Searchable Image.
Choose a PDF compatibility setting,
from PDF 1.0 to 1.6 (or 1.7 in OmniPage Professional) or PDF/A, which
is a basic PDF standard with widest usability, designed to display identically
in any computing environment and withstand changes from technological
evolution. It achieves this by excluding audio and video files, JavaScripts,
executables and encryption.
Choose Linearized
PDF to create files optimized for fast loading and display when
embedded in web pages.

The following section relates only to OmniPage Professional. |
OmniPage Professional allows you to create signed, tagged,
or encrypted PDF files, including the PDF 1.6 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard). You can choose these in the PDF converter
options dialog box. To
apply passwords, first set an encryption level, then type in an open
password and/or a permissions
password. You must enter at least one password for the encryption
to be applied. Decryption is performed when a recipient supplies the correct
password. The permissions to copy, print or modify the file take effect
only if a permissions password is entered.
In OmniPage Professional you can append a new PDF to an existing
one. Save a recognized document as a PDF, provide
the name of an existing PDF file and choose Append.
OmniPage Professional is supplied with a PDF printer facility.
This allows documents inside any print-capable application to be converted
to the PDF (Normal) format. Once Nuance
PDF Create is installed with OmniPage, a new printer, called “ScanSoft
PDF Create!” will appear in your Print dialog boxes. Click Properties...
to set PDF creation norms. When you click OK you are invited to specify
a path and name for the PDF file.
