• Slides and negatives - Our versatile scanner adaptors allow for quick and easy scanning.

• OCR - Optical Character Recognition - Need to edit a manuscript and all you have is the hard copy? Don't retype the entire thing, let Arc OCR convert it. Scanning documents as an OCR file allows text and format editing. Documents can be opened into Word '97 or later versions.
• PDF - Portable Document File - Documents that are scanned in this format are stored as a raster image. This format can not be edited but can be bookmarked or indexed, making it suitable for quick digital reference or as efficient document backup. What you see is what you get - this file format is the best option for documents that never need to be altered. Documents can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing and printing.
