Document Scanning & Conversion
Electronic Document Design can scan your photos, forms, or documents for archiving from $0.35 per page.
What is Document Scanning?
Scanning creates an image of the item, whether it is a text document, a form, a photo, or even an object, like your hand. The resulting electronic file is an image, which can be retouched with image editing software, like Adobe® Photoshop®. Possible file formats resulting from a scanned document include: PDF, jpeg, gif, tif, and bmp. You will not be able to edit text in the scanned file unless you apply optical character recognition (OCR) technology. OCR works well for straight text, like a typewriter produces. A clean laser-printed copy on bright white paper works best for OCR. Complex formatting in documents usually confuses OCR software, so that errors are introduced into the text. When errors are introduced, the text must then be edited to match the original hardcopy version. If you need to be able to edit the text, you are better off having the document re-created if it has a level of complexity beyond straight text with headers.
What is Document Conversion?
Document conversion is taking an electronic file in one format, like MS Word, and transforming it to a different file format, like HTML. In some cases, it is possible to convert between file formats simply by using your software's SaveAs feature. We recommend you attempt a SaveAs conversion before sending the document to us. If you need a more polished and professional document conversion, please allow Electronic Document Design to help. We can convert both from and to the following file formats: pdf, doc, rtf, xls, ppt, txt, html. We can also convert just about any image file to PDF, and create a PDF photo album that anyone can open with Adobe® Reader®. We can also edit your existing PDF documents to add links, add pages, delete pages, annotate text, and so on.
