Caution:
If you save a document scan to an application, the scan cannot
be later accessed by optical character recognition (OCR) software. If you
want to be able to edit the text of the document after scanning it, save
the scanned document as a file.
The default setting for saved documents is .pdf (Portable Document Format).
With third–party .pdf viewer software installed, this type of file can be viewed
on Web pages or computers. You may also save a scanned document as .rtf
(Rich Text Format). This is a standard file type which can be opened and edited
in standard word–processing software applications.
