How do I find a scanned document?

How do I export a scanned document to Word?

How do I export a scanned document to Word?

Use your OS's file browser/explorer to sort the files (in the folder) by date.
Rename each. Top down put a numeric prefix in place.
000-filename
001-filename
nnn-filename
Open Acrobat and use the "Combine" feature to combine the files into a single PDF.
An option available with the Combine feature is to have Bookmarks used. Tick this choice.
The single, new PDF is created. Save it.
Open this PDF file's Bookmark pane. There'll be a bookmark for each of the files.
The order of Bookmarks and the order of PDF pages reflects the order you set when you renamed the source files (a date sort).
Note that you could manually position the order of files to be combined in the Combine dialog.
I find it easier and quicker to add the prefix to the source files.
Using Acrobat XI you'd process the new, single PDF through OCR.
As some of the PDF pages already have renderable text they cannot undergo OCR.
Acrobat will alert you of this when it comes to the first of such pages.
Just tick the box in the lower left. This tells Acrobat to ignore any upcoming pages that cannot be OCRd and to keep on truck'n to OCR the page that hold the scanned image.
Now, use Acrobat XI to export the the PDF to the Word file you want.
(File :: Save As Other :: <make the desired choice> )
Do not expect a 1:1 export. You have a diverse collection of source files.
While you might get 1:1 if ALL the PDFs combined were well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant with 14.8 of ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1) you don't have that.
So --- To be expected — cleanup of the content in the Word file.
Be well...

How do i edit a scanned document in word

how do i edit a scanned document in word

That's impossible. Scanned images are pixel data, not editbale text. You'd have to run it through some OCR process first like in Acrobat, but even then it may just end up being a collection of isolated text objects, not easily editable paragraph text....

How do I make a scanned document editable?

Is there an app (or program) already on my Mac that allows me to edit a scanned document, or to scan directly into Pages or Word For Mac? I don't mind purchasing a program, if necessary, but it seems Mac has lots of functionalities built in... if you know where to find it.

You need OCR (optical character recognition) software.
It's not built in to OS X, so you'll have to search for a solution. There is an abundant selection in the App Store. Here is one and there are many others.
Readiris has been around for a very long time. I used it a while ago, but it's expensive, and there may be better alternatives today.
I have none in particular to recommend, so read the reviews and choose accordingly.

Canon Printer MG5420. How can I save a scanned document in the Word format?

I can only find the option to save scanned documents in the PDF format. I want to know if there is a way to save in Word. Can anyone help me? Canon Printer MXZ5420.

Hello Yvonne.
Specialized OCR software may be needed in order to save files directly to Microsoft Word format. Our software does not have this capability.
If you are attempting to scan a basic, text-only document. You can use our IJ Scan Utility to scan and make adjustments.
1. Start, point to (All) Programs, Canon Utilities and then open the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
2. Click 'Settings' on the lower right corner.
3. Click 'Document Scan' on the left.
4. Under 'Application Settings' on the right, select 'Start (OCR)' and choose 'Canon My Image Garden' in the menu.
5. Click OK.
6. In the IJ Scan Utility, click 'Document'.
When scanning is completed, Notepad will open and you will be able to edit and save your document.

How can I save a scanned document after updating to Mavericks?

Since updating to mavericks on my IMAC, I can not save a scan using my HP photo smart 3180 scanner. I get an error message: the file could not be written to. Check properties for the file to make sure it in not in read-only. I had no problem saving scanned documents before the update.

Not true, Image Capture can Save in PDF Format
and to anywhere you like, including Preview which can handle multiple PDF doc's.
If you do not like or do not wish to spend a little time figuring out Image Capture, then try scanning with Preview like HP is suggesting in the link that baltwo posted.

How do i edit a scanned document on a Deskjet F4280?

All my scans end up in HP Photo and i cannot edit documents there. Can anyone tell me how to save my document scans so i can edit them?
Sandie

There is a page with great information about how to perform scans with and without the HP software for the F4280. This page can be found here.
As to saving scans so that you can edit them. What type of scan are you doing? (picture or text document) What type of edits are you attempting?
What is the operating system of the computer connected to the F4280?
