I'm having trouble creating a searchable PDF file. What should I do?

• Try the following:

  • If you are scanning a landscape-oriented document on the scanner glass, make sure you place the pages with the bottom edge facing the scanner buttons.
  • If you are scanning a document that has a colored background, use the PDF button or scan in Office Mode. Select Grayscale or Black&White as the Image Type setting, then select the Image Option setting and drop out the background color.
  • The searchable PDF file option is not supported in MAC OS.
