Settings for Creating Searchable PDF
This mode enables you to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from a scanned image. The text can then be added to a file to create a PDF file that is searchable.
If you select [PDF (OCR)] as the file format, you can set the Smart Scan setting, and set the number of characters for the Auto (OCR) in File Name. Smart Scan is a mode that determines the text direction to detect the alignment when sending a document. Auto (OCR) in File Name is a mode that automatically uses the first text scanned by OCR in the document as its file name. This setting is specified in [File Name] in [Options] on the Scan and Send screen. (See "File Name.")
