Searchable PDFs
You can convert scanned documents to regular PDF files, or you can go a step further and make the text in that scanned
document searchable. There's a lot more you can do with a PDF file when you make it text-searchable. To do this, just
select "PDF" as the scan type when you scan with MF Toolbox.

Convert Text in Scanned Documents
Text normally gets scanned as an image, but you can convert it into text that can also be edited. Select "OCR" as the scan
type when you scan with MF Toolbox. The software that comes with this machine will convert any text in the scanned
image into text data that you can then edit with a text editor.

Add Images to a Work in Progress
Some applications work with the machine to let you easily import scanned images directly into documents you're working
on. This way you can skip the steps of opening a separate application just for receiving the scanned images and then
exporting them to the application you're really using.
