scanner capable of scanning many pages

page(s) to be placed. By default they will

If
Recognise Text (OCR)
is enabled, Infix
will try to convert any text found in the
scan into “real” text and not just an image
of text.
If you only want the image itself, if the
image is a photograph for example, do not
check this option.

If you want to be able to easily edit the
recognised text and make use of it again,
choose
Editable Text
as the
PDF Style
.
If instead, you want the PDF to be
searchable but to look as close to the
original as possible, choose
Searchable
Image
.
