After scanning documents I then cannot edit the docuuments as there are in PDF format any advice?

Dear
you can choose the document size.scanning resolution.color. and the format on which you want to save.ie. jpg.bmp.pdf etc.
also you can choose multiple scan option to make a multi page pdf file. there is another option ocr. optical character recognition. through which you can scan aword document to open and able to edit in ms word application.
these are few.
thanks.

once you have scanned the picture and saved it . right click on the picture icon. click edit. it should take you into a editing tool like paint . then click file . save as and then the bottom option you can change it to save as a pdf or png or jif, anything your heart desires

http://www.pdfonline.com/pdf2word/index.asp converts your *.pdf file to a MS Word format, free, so you can edit it.

The easiest way to convert a word document to .pdf is to simply right-click on the file to see if there is an option to "convert to .pdf"., then left-click on that option.


Hope this helps. :)

What format did you save the document in? Different scanners use different default formats.
Open the document and try "save as" a .pdf file,then you have a chance of editing it with any of the freeware pdf editors you can google and download.
It's also possible to import it to Office Word and edit it there,if you have the pdf plug-in for Word.

you need to see if your scanner has any OCR software. If it does it needs to be scanned and processed through it to create a document you cane dit.

To scan documents, you must choose the PDF scan. Need to figure out how to choose to scan as a PDF. That's in the software or scan buttons. In that setting, there should be a choice of single or multiple scans. After the scans, you choose finish and the program should show you a PDF document and then save to a folder of your choice.

When you scan it, the original manufacurer's software should allow you to save it as a Word document or some other editable format. PDF, JPG, TIF, and other image formats probably won't work.
