and about being able to convert PDFs to Jpegs. Gaz, I know about Windows being able to save documents as a pdf. Rest assured, I am not trying to *shout* at anyone, least of, at Gazumped - my favourite historian! I wanted to emphasize several points, but am on my Android phone and it doesn't give me access to the Forum's text editor, so I could use formatting functions like Bold or Italics. Word processors will save or export to a variety of formats, often including PDF.įirst, my apologies to anyone who sees this for the use of CAPS throughout this post. Windows Acrobat 9.0 will export an existing PDF to JPG (amongst other save as/ export options).

This allows me to do pretty much anything I want with PDF files (OCR, merging, bookmarking, converting, encrypting, etc.). Personally, I use Adobe Acrobat Pro (not free, by any means, but relatively inexpensive with an education discount). The app is free (it comes with your Mac).

What do you mean by PDF converter? If you want to convert from. One thing to note is that Free users cannot search within PDF files, that feature is available to premium users only. Genius Scan+ is an inexpensive Android scanner and Scanbot is on sale for cheap right now, it's low risk to try it out. Really these apps typically range from $1 to $7. Usually I run these through Adobe to do text recognition and the quality is high enough that Adobe has no problem doing this.

This is considerably better than just taking a picture.

In many cases with apps like Scanner Pro (and likely Scanbot, which I have bought but haven't tried), I can get photo-copier like scanning results. They usually do a lot of really good edge detection and image optimization to bring the text out and increase the quality. Some scanning apps allow you to choose JPG or PDF. This is indexed by Evernote and searchable for both free and premium users.Ģ) Scanning applications typically produce PDFs. 1) Evernote document scanner creates a text-optimized jpeg image with the page edges detected.
