The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

In HP G85: How do I scan a text multipage docs into a readable, relatively small file?

Asked by swreck in Computer Scanners by HP, Adobe Acrobat, OCR / Scanner Software

Tags: , , ,

I'm trying to use the HP OfficeJet to scan multi-page text documents to send as image files in soft copy. I don't need OCR. I'm using the HP Director software. When I select "Scan Picture," it all works, but the files get very big. In the settings, I dropped the resolution on "mixed doc" all the way down to 200 dpi and 1 bit (black and white) scan. This results in a .tif file and a 3 page document is still 3-4 MB. Below 200 dpi, the document gets less readable.

I tried bringing the .tif into Photoshop and saving it as a .png. It worked great resulting in a very readable 60k file. But it only saves the first page of the document (I think this is a characteristic of .png). But the scale seems right (i.e. ~60-100k per page).

In searching, it seems an early version of the g85 s/w once support scanning to PDF, but no longer. I'm willing to buy something, if necessary, but this is not a typical task, so I'm not willing to pay much. And this seems an obvious requirement!  Thanks.Start Free Trial
