Scanning Documents into Adobe Acrobat

Launch the Adobe Acrobat program from the icon on the bottom of the screen or from

the Scanning Software folder or Web Page Creation folder.

Place the page to be scanned face down on the scanner bed.

From the toolbar, click Create PDF

– From Scanner.

An Acrobat Scan dialog box will appear. Choose CanoScan 8600F (or Epson Perfection

2480/2580 in Science or Fine Arts Library), and scan front sides. For most text scanning,

Black and White at 300 DPI is appropriate. Output should be New PDF document, unless you

have opened another PDF file and wish to append pages to it. If you want your scanned

document to be searchable and

the text selectable, make sure

the box for Make Searchable

(Run OCR) is checked.

Checking the Make Accessible

box will improve accessibility for

disabled users.

Then click on Scan. (You will be

asked to save the file to My

Documents before scanning

begins.)
