How VueScan scans
- • Scanning software saves the scanner's page images into a PDF, sometimes with an OCR text layer.
- • Resolution and colour mode are whatever you chose in the scan settings.
- • Scans at 300 dpi in grayscale or colour give the best results; hidden OCR layers are detected and updated.
Questions people ask
+Why are scans so large?
Every page is a full picture, often in colour at high resolution.
+Do I need to convert the scan to Word first?
No. MythosPDF edits the scanned page itself. There is no conversion, so the page keeps its look.
