How do I connect to a scanner and scan PDF files

My Mac is about two years old, and I have an H P wireless printer.  I can print wirlessly, or hook up a printer cable and scan in pictures using capture, a program on the computer.  But how would I scan in a file and make it a PDF file?  Thanks, Grumpy....

Hay this worked.  Your better than the One On One guy that I use.  Many thanks, don't need to keep old windows unit around any more.  Thanks again, Denny...

  • How do I reduce the size of a scanned PDF file?

    I scanned a document from my HP Printer to a thumb drive.  The document is too large to email.  I need to reduce the size to make it possible to email it.  I can't find anything in the Tutorials or Manual on how to do that.  Does anyone know?

    Save As Other>Reduce PDF File or Optimize PDF. The latter gives more control. The basic process for a scanned PDF is to reduce the pixel resolution that both of these process try to do. Sometimes the file actually gets bigger because of the processing (can't explain that). Also, when you save use Save As, not Save. Save retains any changes that are made.
    You might also consider doing OCR with the ClearScan option (the searchable formats will not reduce size), but then have to deal with potential error corrections in the OCR.
    Hopefully I have not confused the issue with the side comments.

  • I develop in DELPHI and scan PDF files to some area. i use WebBrowser as a PDF Viewer. i need to now what is the page no

    how can i query the current page in the browser?

    Hi terenceg40046976,
    There is no need to worry as the lock symbol on the file icon indicates that the PDF files are secured.
    You might refer the below mentioned link to remove security from your PDF:

  • How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

    Goal
    - I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
    - These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
    - However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
      (The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
    Attempt
    -I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
    -I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
    Troubleshoot
    -So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
    -Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
    Question
    -How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
    -I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
    -So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
    Computers
    -PC
    -Mac
    whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
    Thanks!

    After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

  • How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

    How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

    Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
    Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

  • I am new to the Apple world and yesterday i bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Gen) .. My Question is "Can we connect a flash drive to the IPAD4 and transfer pdf files to and fro"??

    Hi all,
    I am a newbie to the Apple World and Yesterday I bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Generation).. My primary purpose is to read pdf files on IPAD4.
    I have 3 questions ..
    1. Can we connect a usb flash drive to the ipad4 and read pdf files from it?
    2.  I am using windows since 2000 and accustomed to the file explorer and file management in it. Can I get such kind of environment in IPAD4 ?
    3. Do I have to sync the IPAD too often?
    Regards,
    Manikanth

    Sandisk has recently come out with a device
    http://www.sandisk.com/products/wireless/flash-drive/
    Never used it so I can't comment on whether or not it works well. There are very few devices out there that allow file transfer without going through iTunes or via the internet. IMHO, one real weakness of the iPad, great for consuming data, however not very fully featured when it comes to moving data around, especially if that data doesn't come from iTunes or other online source.
    there is also a device called a WiDrive
    http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless
    that is also a wireless drive for iPads.

  • How to set default to convert a document to a black and white pdf file?

    I have dozens of color Word files that I need to convert to black and white pdf files on a weekly cycle.  I figured out that I can do this for individual files by clicking "print", "properties", then choose the "paper/quality" tab, and then click on "black and white".  However, I cannot make the "black and white" selection permanent.  That is, the next file requires me to go through the same four-step process to convert a Word file to a black and white pdf file.  Any suggestions on how to make the "black and white" selection permenant?

    Sorry.  I forgot to mention that I am using Acrobat Adobe Pro 9.4.2.

  • How do I configure DW to open and load a file?

    I have DreamWeaver CS5 running on a Mac. Whenever I double-click to open a DreamWeaver compatible file (such as an HTML file), if DW is not already open, DW launches but does not load the file. Once DW is launced, I can double-click the file and it will load. How do I configure DW to open and load a file together?
    DW: v11 b 4993
    OS X: 10.7.4 (11E53)

    HTML files are normally configured to open in a browser. The default on a Mac is to open the file in Safari.
    You can right-click the filename in the Mac Finder, and select Open With > Dreamweaver CS5 from the context menu.
    Alternatively, select an HTML file in Mac Finder, and press Cmd+I to open the Info panel. In the Open With section, select Dreamweaver CS5 as the default program, and click the Change All button.

  • How can i reply to an email and attach a file to it?

    How can i reply to an email and attach a file to it?

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Tell Apple. We're just fellow users here and can't control a thing. The sandboxed nature of the iPad, which also means a lack of an overall file manager is what keeps viruses from spreading and improves the stability of the system as a whole. And it's that lack of a file manager system that means you can't just attach something to an e-mail.
    What I'd do, reply to the person, i'm sending the attachment next, do that and you're done. 2 e-mails sure but you've accomplished what you need to do.

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.
