You can select File Type and set the folder name and file name. You can view File and folder after saving. For ADF scanner, there is Auto Feed function. For TIF file type, you can add new image to the existing TIF file. For JPG file type, you can set JPG quality.

  • Close this dialog after Scan: Close this dialog after the scanning.

If you have scanner "Server Busy" or other problem,   Please use the following options:

  • Update your scanner's driver from its manufacturer website, especially for the 64 bit.
  • Make sure that the Windows Scanner (Microsoft Paint: File Menu=>From Scanner or Camera) and your scanner's software can work.
  • Then, you can update PDFill and use WIA Method: PDFill PDF Editor: File Menu =>Import Image from Scanner => Scan using WIA; PDFill PDF Tools: Scan into Image or PDF => Scanning Method => WIA
  • You can also use the Windows Scanner to scan your paper into images, then, insert them into PDFill PDF Editor.

Since PDFill doesn't have OCR function, if you want to reduce the PDF file size,  try scanning at a lower resolution, and in black-and-white instead of color. That will shrink the file size considerably.
