You can specify the PDF to require a password for opening or to indicate validation that the document was scanned from the machine. You can also specify whether to divide multiple images into separate files when sending them by e-mail or storing them into a file server.

*Some items are only available when the optional Send PDF Security Feature Set is enabled.
<PDF (Compact)> compresses photos and illustrations on documents more than <PDF>. The file will be smaller, but the image quality of some documents or the number of documents that can be scanned at once may be lower. If you select <PDF (Compact)>, you can specify the compression level.
You can create a text-searchable PDF by selecting <PDF (Compact/OCR)> or <PDF (OCR)> to process the document with OCR (optical character recognition). This function detects the orientation of the document and automatically rotates it to create a PDF. For mor information, see OCR (Text Searchable) Settings.
For the resolutions of each file format, see Specifications for Scanning to Shared Folders/File Servers.
