Storing Files in Different Formats

Setting the File Format

You can select the PDF, JPEG, or TIFF file format when storing files.

Trace and Smooth*

This mode enables you to store the text portions of your original as a PDF file with scalable outline data.

Compact PDF Files

This mode enables you to store a scanned document as a compact PDF file to keep the file size down.

Searchable PDF Files*

This mode enables you to store a scanned document as a PDF file, with the text portions embedded as searchable text data.

PDF Files with a Digital Signature*

You can store PDF files with any of the following digital signatures.
Device Signature
This mode uses the device signature certificate and key pair inside the machine to add a digital signature to the file. The recipient can then verify the device that signed the file, and whether or not the file has been changed after it was signed.
User Signature
This mode uses SSO-H login information about the current user and the user signature certificate and key pair inside the machine to add a digital signature to the file. The recipient can verify the user that signed the file, and whether the file has been changed after it was signed.
Visible Signatures
This mode displays a visible signature on the first page of the PDF file. The recipient can then easily see that the file has a digital signature. You can also check the detailed signature information from the Properties of the signature. In addition, you can decide the position of the visible signature displayed on the PDF file.

Encrypted PDF Files*

You can set a password and encrypt a PDF file and store it securely.
If you set a password for a PDF file, you can restrict the printing or changing of the document.

Storing a Reader Extensions Compatible PDF*

This mode enables you to store a scan as a PDF file that allows comments to be added using Adobe Reader 7 or later.
