Reference Information
Searchable PDF
This mode enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from the scanned image, and add it as a transparent layer of text to create a PDF file that is searchable. If the file is a searchable PDF file, you can quickly search for the necessary information on the PDF.
PDF Security
You can set a password to the PDF file. If the PDF is encrypted with a password, you cannot open, print, or change the PDF file without entering the correct password. If you want to restrict access, it is recommended that you set a password before sending.
Changing the Default Settings
By storing the specified send settings as the default settings, you can recall the settings without specifying the settings again. For more information, see
