Using the AXIS 7000/FX
Tools for Image/Picture
Tools for Viewing, OCR
and Archiving
Acrobat Reader
There are basically two different types of imaging tools:
• Tools optimized for image/picture editing
• Tools optimized for handling scanned documents
Tools for image/picture editing normally support JPEG and single-
Editing image uncompressed TIFF format. They are optimized for handling
color and gray-scale images. Such tools are delivered with the desktop
scanners. Most tools will work, as long as JPEG and/or TIFF formats
are supported.
Tools for viewing, OCR and archiving generally support multipage
compressed TIFF, but often also JPEG. Document viewers are optimized
for presenting document data in a readable format on a screen.
Suitable tools are often bundled with desktop scanners. Tools that
combine viewing and simple archiving are becoming increasingly
popular. These tools are delivered with Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT.
Notes:
• Although the generated TIFF image files do not contain searchable
text, you can use an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application
to convert the bitmap to text that can be corrected, indexed,
searched or copied to other files.
• The generated PDF image files do not contain searchable text. You
can use Adobe Capture or the built-in capture function in Adobe
Acrobat to make the text searchable.
The PDF format requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Readers
for Windows (3.1, 95/98, NT), Macintosh and UNIX can be downloaded
free of charge from Adobe Systems Web site http://www.adobe.com.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is also supplied on the AXIS Online CD.
