Using Epson Scan, you can create a PDF file with the following features.
Scanning multiple document pages into a single PDF file: You can scan multiple document pages and save them
in a single PDF file.
Creating a searchable PDF file: You can create a PDF file with search functionality, so that you can look for words in
the file. (This feature may not be available in some countries.)
Specifying the number of pages in a single PDF file: You can specify the maximum number of pages that can be
included in one PDF file. For example, if you are scanning a 20-page document, and specify the page number to be
included in one PDF as 4, 5 PDF files are automatically created.
Note:
You need ABBYY FineReader (included with your scanner) to use some of these features. If you have
installed your scanning software as described in the Start Here sheet, it has already been installed.
(ABBYY FineReader may not be available in some countries.)
