Document imaging is an information technology category for systems capable of replicating documents commonly used in business. Document imaging systems can take many forms including microfilm, on demand printers, facsimile machines, copiers, multifunction printers, document scanners, computer output microfilm (COM) and archive writers. Document imaging is a form of enterprise content management, built around the need to manage and secure the escalating volume of electronic documents (spreadsheets, word-processing documents, PDFs, e-mails) created in organizations.

how do I upgrade from from pp 12.1 to 14.5
I need to send someone a PDF. After scanning a text document and clicking on the document before saving it there is a drop down menu to choose formats. The file formats on the list are:
tif, bmp, pcx, jpg, pct, tga, png, and all files.
This scanner creates files that are quite large as far as pixels and I have to use Irfanview to reduce the size.
There is a Full Auto mode, Home mode and Professional Mode and I have tried all of them and once scanning and looking in the format drop down window I never see PDF as a choice.

Hi,
Which tool or Web-site is fine to transfer the following file to Word format, as it is over the size of 5 MB?

Can a Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 use OCR to specifically NAME a file (PDF) as the value found when scanning? For example, it we have a stack of invoices, all formatted the same with the Invoice Number in the same location, can we scan those and ask ScanSnap to name each individual scan page based on the value of the Invoice Number? (I.e. Inv123.pdf, Inv456.pdf, Inv789.pdf)
Alternatively, I am more sure that we can make a PDF SEARCHABLE so that we could SEARCH within each document for a given invoice number... (i.e. search ALL PDFs that contain INV456)). Only problem is, that would be slower than simply eyeing down a list of filenames...
Best way to scan and file similar documents?
Thank you!

What is that called?
What programs can do that for me on a Mac?
Only answer this if you can...but those using this morphed image would certainly need to know the answer. Is that morphed image my property? Anytime I use images I need to certify they are mine or public domain.
Thanks

I plan to use some Wikipedia images in a book which I plan to sell. And I need to be sure I am allowed to use these pictures.
Here are two sample images with different license requirements.

- Numerous PDFs in a network folder, or to be pulled into the solution via a network scanner
- Need to read the bar code and extract the 5 pieces of data for indexing. OR, OCR portions of the page with the same data as in the bar code.
- Use this data to store the document for search and retrieval later - methods may vary. Would like documents placed into folders by the date in the bar code.
- Some sort of compression or load into a database is preferred to keep file size down.
- Windows or Linux based
- OpenSource only: I want to get my hands dirty with it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I am looking for a product to digitally sign documents.
- documents would be in PDF format and then sent to user to approve, they would sign the document to indicate they approve it and then would email it to the next party that needs to review the same document and they would sign it or "sign off" on it and the document would be complete.
- ideally the document could be shared to the user for them to review and sign so that the owner knows it has been approved before sharing it to another dept/user for further approval or completion.
What kind of product would you recommend for this type of workflow? PDFs are currently used but there is not digital signature in place yet.
Has anyone used "DocuSign Business Pro Edition" ?
Thanks,

In an interesting question here at Experts Exchange, a member asked how to split a single image into multiple images. The primary usage for this is to place many photographs on a flatbed scanner and scan all of them into a single image file, but then easily split the single image file into multiple image files, one for each photo. The photos will be placed on the flatbed scanner with ample separation so that there is enough "white space" for the splitting software to separate the images. Of course, the solution may be used on any image that contains multiple images in it, that is, not necessarily scanned photos, as long as there is enough of a separation between images for the splitting software to detect the individual images. The solution presented in this video Micro Tutorial uses the excellent (free!) GIMP software and a filter (plugin/script) called Divide Scanned Images. Kudos to both the GIMP developers and Rob Antonishen, who developed DivideScannedImages and BatchDivideScannedImages.
At the time of this video, the latest version was 2.8.20. This solution will almost surely run on earlier releases (and, with some luck, later ones), but the only version that I tested on is 2.8.20, which is available for download here:

This is a one off exercise:
I have 10,000 pdf's in about 500 folders.
The pdf's are called a persons name and have a photo of the person in the pdf.
Example:
johnsmith.pdf has a picture of John Smith !
I want to start at a high level folder and drill down into all lower folders looking for pdf's.
REQUIREMENT: One large PDF containing all the smaller ones.
Also, I need to be able to search the PDF and find the photo of "John Smith" or whoever.

Nuance is offering Paperport Professional 14 for $59.99. Info still shows no support for W10. Will your 14.5 upgrade work on this one?
I have a TIFF file that is 9" x 280". Is there a way using Photoshop (or any other utility) to break this into a multi-page TIFF or pdf file?
This printer will no longer generate a .pdf file from a file scan.
It is connected to a W10 fully updated computer.
It does print documents generated on the W10 computer to which it is connected by WiFi Direct
I'm unable to understand the Brother Canadian website and the methods it suggests.
Experts, please, your suggestions for finding a solution.

I am using Paperport 14.5 and am trying to set it up to a new Epson es-400 scanner. The paperport scanner setting box does not show the scanner. When I scan, the Epson Scan 2 windows pop up and requires me to use it. How do I get paperport to work directly with the scanner?

Hi
I have just changed printer to Epson WF-2750 which has a ADF feeder.
Cannot see how I can have different profiles to use or not use ADF for a scan from my computer.
Although you can change the hints to enable or disable ADF these do not seem to show in the Profile.xml file.
Any suggestions please
Michael

Is there anyone aware of a way to convert PDF to JPG. (download not online)
I started having difficulty with PP14.5+Patch 1 after running CheckPPFolders.exe. The difficulty came about when scanning documents, the scanning dialog would not pop up to scan the other side (which I've done hundreds of times previously), and that led to running the CheckPPFolders.exe. Not sure it was the right move at this point. Now, any time that I want to scan a document, I first select the folder for the scan to go to, which starts the process of UPDATING file 1 of XXX ... something that has never happened until about a week ago.
PaperPort is a useful scanning tool, but the mask that is offered to describe the scan is very limited. Can any fields be added?
In a recent question here at Experts Exchange, a member asked how to add page numbers to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. This short video Micro Tutorial shows how to do it.
That will expose the Tools pane.
That will expand the Pages section.
That will show three menu choices.
You will now have the Add Header and Footer dialog.
Click the Page Number and Date Format... link.
There are several other features in the dialog, including Appearance Options, Margin sizes, and Page Range Options.
Click in one of these six boxes: Left Header Text, Center Header Text, Right Header Text, Left Footer Text, Center Footer Text, Right Footer Text.
Click the Insert Page Number button and then click OK. Note that it's also possible to insert a Date (and format it, too).
That's it! You now have page numbers in your PDF file. Remember to Save the file or do a Save As if you don't want to overwrite the original PDF.

Hello and Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am needing a scanner with an automatic document feeder for home use which supports 2 sided pages. While I believe this is standard, I would need each page (front and back) scanned and saved as a PDF. However, scanners with automatically document feeders may not support what I have in mind.
Any shared thoughts and links given in reply to this question will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you
George
