Scanning to PDF

Single Page:

Select the single page option to generate a PDF file with 1 page, regardless of what the printer does.

Please only place one page in the scanner when scanning a single page.
Printer types have variable behaviour with scanning. When you select either Single or Multi page scanning, the scanner's own application launches, but even if the scanner opts to scan more than one page, EXACT will only save one of those pages in the PDF file. To avoid variable results where EXACT saves either the first or the last of multiple pages.

Multi Page:

EXACT stores the scanned pages in memory after completing the multipage scan option.

Once all the pages are scanned, EXACT displays an option dialogue asking whether or not you wish to add more pages to the scanned document.

Select NO to generate the PDF file with the pages scanned to that point.

Select YES to resurrect the printer's scanning software while EXACT holds the previously scanned pages in memory, then add further pages for further scanning to memory.

Scanner Memory Limitation:

Attempting to scan too many pages causes the scanner machine to run out of memory.

The size of the PDF file varies depending on the type of document being scanned:

• A primarily white page will typically be about 50kb in size.
• A dense image can be up to 1000kb in size.

The scanner software will likely display an error message when the scanner memory limit is reached. This varies between scanner products.
