Scan documents to PDF

Scan a paper document to PDF
You can create a PDF file directly from a paper document, using your scanner and Acrobat. In Windows XP and
Windows Vista, Acrobat supports TWAIN scanner drivers and Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) drivers. You can
also scan paper forms in a way that converts them into interactive PDF forms. .
In Windows, when you create a PDF from a scanner, you can choose a scanning preset that best matches the type of
document you are scanning. (The available presets are Black & White Document, Grayscale Document, Color
Document, and Color Image). You can also scan using custom settings, and you can adjust the settings in the scanning
presets.
Note: Preset scanning is available only for scanner drivers that support Hide Scanner's Native Interface mode. The
scanning presets are not available in Mac OS.
In Windows, if a WIA driver is installed for your scanner, you can use the Scan button on your scanner to create a
PDF. Press the Scan button, and then in Windows, choose Adobe Acrobat from the list of registered applications.
Then, in the Acrobat Scan dialog box, select a scanner and a document preset or Custom Scan.
After you scan a document to PDF, you can apply security settings using one of the security or batch processing
methods in Acrobat, or using JavaScript. For more information on using JavaScript, see the documents at
www.learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/security/Document+Library.
