Want to scan to text file on hp oj8600, software indicates only pdf or jpg file creation

want to scan to text file on hp oj8600, software indicates can do. However printer system software only allows pdf or jpg file type creation.

Hello @Richf95,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are trying to save scans as a text file.
I would like to help.
PDF has become the standard file type used when scanning/saving a document.
Most printers will not have text as a default option.
Try the following:
Open the HP scan utility
In the lower left hand corner select 'Create New Shortcut...'
Name your new short cut. I went with Text.
In the next window select the file tab.
In the drop down menu, select Text.
This should create a shortcut that will allow you to save scans as a .txt file.

I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
How can I fix this Plug-in?
And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

How do I copy and paste text from a pdf file and paste it into a new pdf or word file?

I have a very large pdf file (500 pages) comprised of 200 letters. How do I copy individual letters (copy and paste sections of the file) and put them in a new pdf or word file?
Thank you

Hi drredwood,
When you open your PDF file a yellow bar will appear on the top of the screen.
Click on 'Enable All Features'.
Then you will be able to copy the content from your pdf and to paste in any of the file.

Florence

Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem. Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)? If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

.jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

.jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.

Creating PDF from JPG files

I scan several pages from a book and wish to compile a PDF file from the scanned JPG files. What I want is the PDF file to be as small as possible, using relatively good JPG files (they are on the order of 300k), so that the fonts don't look too blurry when magnifying the image in Acrobat. My PDF file gets to be very big when creating a file composed of around 100 scanned pages. How can I make the file smaller?
I can't use optical character recognition to convert the text of the page. Much of the text contains mathematical symbols and figures, but is generally just black-and-white.
I feel the large file size of the resultant PDF file is due to all the "white space" of the JPG file. Is there some way to have Acrobat "ignore" the white when creating the PDF file, and then just display the information part of the JPG file on a white background?
Remember, I'm creating a PDF file from scanned textbook pages, not photographs. I would think that there is an optimum way to do this, keeping good resolution of the text (the "black" or non-white information), and minimizing the file size of the resultant PDF file.
Any thoughts?
I have Acrobat 8, Photshop Elements 6, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thanks

For starters, you should be sure and scan them as grayscale. Then the "white space" won't be an issue.
Basically the answer is going to be in your initial scan. You need to optimize the files as best you can there first then create the PDF.

Restrict a folder to take only pdf or doc files

Hi,
Is there any way that we can restrict a folder to contain only specific files.
i.e while copying, or uploading files in to a folder the folder should take only the files with specif format( say word or pdf or txt etc..).
Mr.Chowdary

Leandro,
Thanks for u r respose.
U r talking about the namespace filter which is can be implemented only as read filters.
They simply helps to hide the content.
What i want is the folder should not accept other files except one type (say MSWord).
Like users can upload only files with .doc extension else it should show an error msg.
do u have solution for this.

Browse only raw and jpg files, can i do with a script?

Hi
I use photoshop cs3 and bridge
I would like to know if a script for bridge can let bridge visualize only jpg raw psd files?
I know i can do it with filter , but i should setup filter every time i run bridge
i would like a scipt that let bridge visualize only some type of files
can i do it?
is there a script that i can edit ?
thanks
have a nice day

I assume your raws are in DNG format? If xmp is in sidecar, it won't change raw file date.
Anyway, saving xmp does not change any dates in Lightroom, so you should still be able to sort by edit time or capture time...
But if you want control, you have to save manually instead of automatically.
Two things that might help:
1. Filter based on metadata status.
2. robcole.com - DNGPreviewUpdater

Converting PDF to Jpg file

hi
i am looking for an pure java api wich will convert pdf file into jpg.

If it is going to State Legislators I would highly suggest doing the PDF in a DVD-ROM folder. (I am sort of assuming these are pages of material, and not a bullet point type list.) It also lets them print things out and read them.
That being said, I find Motion does a nice job of making text. Export as self contained in a codec like Pro Res, then bring it into Compressor. Often CBR will give good results on text. even if you go that route, the PDfs in files may not be a bad idea....

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

Pixel Bender only available for jpg files?

I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a brand new macbook. Everything has been working fine. I recently installed Pixel Bender and started playing with it. It seems to work fine on .jpg files, but whenever I open any PSD files, (or raw files from my Nikon) the Pixel Bender menu item is grayed out. I'm sure I am doing something wrong, but can't for the life of me figure out what that might be. I read that the filter needs to be applied to a smart object, so I tried creating a new layer and converted it to a smart object. But still the PB menu item is unavailable!! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mode is RGB and 8 bits.
However, it appears that the problem has gone away. I did uninstall and reinstall the exention. It must have been an anomoly because I can not reproduce the issue. Thanks for your attention to this issue. Regards.

Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

Why does iPhoto only import digital photo files at one-half or less of the original jpg file size?

My 24" 2008 iMac, running 10.5.8 and iPhoto '08 (300 GB harddrive, 67 GB avail, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MH sdram), only imports my digital photo images directly from the camera at about 1/2 or less of the original file size. I thought it might be my 12.2 mgp. Samsung camera, until I just a 14 mpg. Lumix, and its doing the same thing. A 5 mg. images imports at around 2.4 mgs... a 14 mg image imports under 6... Its always done this, but until I bought the new camera, I assumed it was my peripheral issue.

Hi, I wonder if it's just maybe compressing them, highlight one in iPhoto & click on the little i icon for info, what is the size in Pixels compared to the original?

Iphoto doesn't recognize black and white jpg files

I scanned in an old black and white photo and it is a jpg file. When I try to drag it into iphoto it doesn't recognize the file. I tried changing the file by going to soft proof with profile, checking RGB, saving it and re-importing it but no luck. When I reopen the file, I noticed that my settings never saved in preview. How do I permanently change this files settings?

a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
1) Finder
2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
3) pictures
4) right click on iphoto library then click info
5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
6) make sure you have permission to read & write
The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.
