Configuring the Save dialog
Top  Previous  Next

Press the Save 25_save button on the Action Toolbar to make a temporary save of your scanned images or when you are finished scanning everything. The Save dialog will open and you can make a few choices on how your scanned images should be saved. This dialog is split into Save 1 on the left side and Save 2 on the right side. While Save 1 will use the File Format and OCR Language settings you selected prior to scanning, Save 2 allows you to select a set of completely different settings to output your scanned images. For example, you can have your scanned images output as PDF and JPG files at the same time.

PDF and TIFF file formats  
Tick the checkbox of PDF/A to convert the PDF file format to PDF/A file format for long-term preservation of electronic documents.  
 
The PDF and TIFF file formats have one additional exclusive option available:  
 
·Generate one file for all pages: The PDF and TIFF file formats support multiple pages within one file, so select this option if you only want to create one file that contains all your scanned images.  
 
·Generate one file every X page(s): Select this option if you want to create a separate file for every X number of pages. This is the default for the JPG file format and cannot be changed because it does not support multiple pages within one file.  
 
Insert Meta Data  
All file formats support the addition of meta data. Press on Insert Meta Data to open the Meta Data dialog. You can add a Title, the Author, a Description, and Keywords to the output file.
