Getting a Page—The Basic Steps
There are two ways to get a page: 1) Use Auto OCR to automatically get a page. 2)
Perform an individual Get Page. In each case you need to select the source—your
scanner or an image file—that you want to use to get the page. If you select a
scanner, you also need to select a few other options. The following procedure tells
you the basic steps to get a page. For more detailed information, see
“Getting Pages
From a Scanner,”
and
“Getting Pages from an Image File,”
later in this chapter.
To get a page:
1. Select a source from the Get Page drop-down list, in the Gallery toolbar.
2. If you select Use Scanner, select scanner options as described in
“Setting
Scanning Options,”
later in this chapter.
3. Click Get Page or Auto OCR depending on which process you want to use.
4. If you select Use Scanner, scan the document using your scanner. If you select
Open File, open the file you want to use.
