2. Basic Operations  
This chapter explains how to use ScanSnap Organizer.  
2.1. Starting ScanSnap Organizer  
1. From the [Start] menu, select [All Programs] -> [ScanSnap Organizer] ->  
[ScanSnap Organizer].  
Ö The “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” dialog box appears.  
(Depending on the setting, it may not appear.)  
You can also activate the ScanSnap Organizer by double-clicking the icon  
the desktop.  
on  
2. If you want to perform automatic conversion into searchable PDF, click the  
[Yes] button, and if not, click the [No] button.  
ScanSnap is capable of making searchable PDF files by embedding textual  
information in PDF files, which are the image data scanned with the ScanSnap. There  
are two methods to use this function:  
- Manually select only necessary PDF files to convert them into searchable files.  
- Automatically convert PDF files added in the predetermined folder ([My ScanSnap]  
folder).  
To select the former method, click the [No] button; for the latter, click the [Yes] button.  
If you want to know what the searchable PDF files are, refer to “Appendix 1. About  
Searchable PDF Files” on page 73.  
The “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” dialog box can be hidden form view. Mark  
the “Do not show this message again” checkbox if you don’t want to see this dialog  
box again.  
You can change the “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” later. For details on how to  
change the settings, refer to “3.4. Configuring Automatic Conversion Settings of  
PDF Files” on page 49.

Every log-in user can use his/her own “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings.”  
Automatic conversion is executed while the user who added the PDF file into the [My  
ScanSnap] folder logs on Windows and whenever any other applications are not  
running on the computer. If the automatic conversion is not complete by the time the  
user logs off, it will be restarted when the same user logs in again.  
Ö The ScanSnap Organizer window appears.  
If you turn Automatic OCR on (if you click the [Yes] button), “Automatically convert added  
PDFs into searchable PDFs” appears on the title bar while the [My ScanSnap] folder is  
selected to show files in the folder.

2.2. Operating Window  
The following is an example of the ScanSnap Organizer main window, which is displayed at  
startup. This window provides the controls that you can use in ScanSnap Organizer.  
<Main Window>  
About the image display in ScanSnap Organizer  
ScanSnap Organizer creates cache data (temporarily stored data) of PDF files  
capable of being thumbnailed so that it can display images faster. The cache data  
is stored in the hidden “.organizer” subfolder in the folder where the relevant PDF  
file is stored. If it is deleted accidentally, it takes time to display images. Be careful  
not to delete the cache data.  
ScanSnap Organizer cannot create cache data of PDF files saved in unwritable  
media such as the CD even if it displays the image of these PDF files. If you want  
to display images faster, once copy the files from the said media into the hard disk  
to create cache data, and then store the files with the cache data in the CD again.  
After scanning, images may not appear immediately or no images may appear  
while additional operations such as password settings are being applied. If images  
do not appear after setting a password, select [Refresh] from the [View] menu.

3. Using ScanSnap Organizer in Various Ways  
This chapter describes details of how to use ScanSnap Organizer with its various functions.  
3.1. Connecting to ScanSnap  
This section explains how to use ScanSnap Organizer to display and arrange images scanned  
with the ScanSnap.  
3.1.1. Preparing  
When you use the Left-Click Menu Mode, which is one of the setting options for the [SCAN]  
button, you need to configure the settings as the following procedure.  
There are two setting options for the [SCAN] button:  
Quick Menu Mode  
This is a mode in which you scan documents first and then you select an Action from  
the Quick Menu that appears after scanning.  
Left-Click Menu Mode  
This is a mode in which you first select the application you use after scanning and  
then you scan documents.  
For the details, see the “ScanSnap S510 Operator’s Guide” or “ScanSnap Upgrade  
User’s Guide.”  
1. Right-click the “ScanSnap Manager”  
icon on the Taskbar, and choose  
[SCAN Button Settings] from the menu appeared.  
Ö The “Scan and Save Settings” dialog box appears.  
29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
2. Select “ScanSnap Organizer" from the “Application” drop-down list on the  
"Application" tab.  
Depending on the ScanSnap model you are using, the setting dialog box may differ from  
the image above. For details on how to set the ScanSnap setting, refer to “ScanSnap  
S510 Operator’s Guide” or “ScanSnap Upgrade User’s Guide” that comes with the  
product.  
3. Click the [OK] button.  
Ö The “Scan and Save Settings” dialog box closes.  
30  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3.1.2. Scanning  
1. Load the document onto the scanner.  
2. Press the [SCAN] button.  
Ö Scanning is started.  
When you scan with the Quick Menu Mode, the Quick Menu appears. Then Select “Save  
with ScanSnap Organizer.”  
Ö When scanning is finished, the “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” dialog box  
appears.  
(Depending on the setting, it may not appear.)  
3. If you want PDF files to be converted automatically, click the [Yes] button; if  
not, click the [No] button.  
ScanSnap is capable of making searchable PDF files by embedding textual information  
in PDF files, which are the image data scanned with the ScanSnap. There are two  
methods to use this function:  
- Manually select necessary PDF files to convert them into searchable files.  
- Automatically convert PDF files added in the predetermined folder ([My ScanSnap]  
folder).  
31  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
To select the former method, click the [No] button; for the latter, click the [Yes] button.  
If you want to know what the searchable PDF files are, refer to “Appendix 1. About  
Searchable PDF Files” on page 73.  
The “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” dialog box can be hidden form view. Mark the  
“Do not show this message again” checkbox if you do not want to see this dialog box  
again.  
You can change the PDF automatic conversion settings later. For details on how to  
change the settings, refer to “3.4. Configuring Automatic Conversion Settings of PDF  
Files” on page 49.  
Every log-on user can use his/her own “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings.” Automatic  
conversion of added PDF files is executed while the user who added the PDF file into the  
[My ScanSnap] folder logs on to Windows and whenever any other applications are not  
running on the computer. If the automatic conversion is not complete by the time the user  
logs off, it will be restarted when the same user logs on again.  
Ö When "ScanSnap Organizer" is activated, you will see the thumbnailed image you  
scanned (when the display mode is [Thumbnails]).  
Scanned images are saved in the [My ScanSnap] folder, which is specified on the [General  
Settings] tab in the "Options" dialog box. (See page 21.)  
It is the [My ScanSnap] folder under [My Documents] by default.  
After scanning, images may not appear immediately or no images may appear while a  
password is being set.  
If images do not appear after setting a password, select [Refresh] from the [View] menu.

When you want to move/rename folders and/or files during the period from when  
the PDF file is posted on the “PDF Conversion List” dialog box until when the file is  
converted, perform the operation on ScanSnap Organizer.  
If you use Windows Explorer to move/rename folders and/or files during the period,

with the ScanSnap and added in the [My ScanSnap] folder into searchable PDF files. (See page  
73 for details.)  
1. From the [PDF file] menu, select [Convert into Searchable PDF] ->  
[Automatic Conversion Setting].  
Ö The “Options” dialog box appears.  
2. Mark the “Automatically make PDF files searchable after the PDF files are  
added to the My ScanSnap folder” checkbox.  
3. Select the “Language for conversion to searchable files.”  
4. Mark the “Skip pages with embedded textual information” checkbox if you  
want to convert only pages not yet made searchable.  
5. If you want to display a confirmation message to switch automatic OCR  
ON/OFF (automatic conversion to searchable PDF files) upon ScanSnap  
Organizer startup, mark the “Display the message to confirm the settings at  
ScanSnap Organizer startup” checkbox.  
6. Click the [OK] button.  
Ö The “Options” dialog box closes.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Any files saved while this checkbox is unmarked are not targeted for automatic  
conversion. If you want to convert those files, select them to convert.  
This function converts all the pages of PDF files. If you want to specify pages to  
convert them, select the files and convert those pages.  
If you mark the “Skip pages with embedded textual information” checkbox, you can  
shorten the processing period because it skips conversion on pages already made  
searchable.  
Automatic conversion of added PDF files is executed while the user who added the  
PDF file into the [My ScanSnap] folder logs on Windows and whenever any other  
applications are not running on the computer. If the automatic conversion is not  
complete by the time the user logs off, it will be restarted when the same user logs on  
again according to the following conditions:  
-
-
-
When 10 minutes passed after logging on  
When you display the “PDF Conversion List” dialog box  
When a file is added in ”PDF Conversion List” (when you scan with the  
ScanSnap, the conversion restarts 3 minutes after scanning.)  
Through this conversion procedure, textual information is embedded in PDF files.  
Thus, the PDF files are updated.  
You can check the status of PDF file conversion from the “PDF Conversion List”  
dialog box.  
The PDF files that are protected by security features such as a password and/or  
bearing a digital signature cannot be converted into searchable PDF files even if they  
are scanned with the ScanSnap.

About the OCR function of ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap  
Some types of documents are occasionally misrecognized. Before recognition, check  
whether the documents you want to convert are suitable for conversion according to the  
following guidelines.  
- Suitable for conversion to Word  
Documents created by using simple page layout with one or two columns  
- Suitable for conversion to Excel  
Simple tables in which every border line connects to the outside borders  
- Not suitable for conversion to Word  
Documents created by using complex page layout comprised of diagrams, tables,  
and letters, such as a brochure, magazine, and newspaper  
- Not suitable for conversion to Excel  
Documents containing tables without borders, complex tables with too many  
borders, convoluted tables containing sub-tables, diagrams, graphs and charts,  
photographs, and/or characters written in vertical direction  
(Diagrams, graphs and charts, photographs, and characters written in vertical  
direction are not reproduced.)  
The following parameters may not be inherited from the originals during conversion. It is  
recommended that the converted documents be opened with Microsoft® Word,  
Microsoft® Excel or Microsoft® PowerPoint® to correct or edit misrecognized letters.  
- Superscript and subscript  
If “Japanese” is selected as a recognition language, the following parameters may also  
not be inherited from the originals during conversion:  
- Font and size of characters  
- Character spacing and line spacing  
- Underline, bold, and Italic  
* Note that Scan2PowePoint does not support conversion in the Japanese language.  
The following types of documents may be misrecognized. If so, change the "Color  
mode" to "Color" and/or increase the resolution (Image quality) to improve the results of  
conversion.  
- Documents containing handwritten characters  
- Text including small characters (smaller than 10 points)  
- Skewed documents  
- Documents in languages other than the specified language  
- Documents containing characters written in an unevenly-colored or patterned  
background  
(Characters to which effects, such as Shadow, Outline, and Shading, are applied.)  
- Documents of complex layout and documents including unreadable characters  
(It may take an extended period of time to convert these documents.)  
ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap can text-recognize only PDF files that are created by  
using the ScanSnap, but it cannot text-recognize PDF files created by using Adobe  
Acrobat or other applications.  
Files that can be converted to Word/Excel/PowerPoint® are only the PDF files scanned  
with ScanSnap and not protected by the security other than “Permissions Password”  
(such as “Document Open Password”).  
A converted Excel worksheet can contain up to 65536 rows.  
If “Japanese” is selected as a recognition language and the documents are scanned  
upside down or in landscape orientation, conversion will fail. Correct the document  
orientation by using Adobe Acrobat, clicking [Document] -> [Rotate Pages].  
* Note that Scan2PowerPoint does not support conversion in Japanese language.

Appendix 1. About Searchable PDF Files  
(1) What is a searchable PDF file?  
When a paper document is scanned and stored in the form of PDF file, all information in the  
document such as text, pictures, and charts is output as one image.  
In such cases, characters in the scanned document are not searchable because they are the  
image without textual information.  
Image  
PDF  
This image cannot be  
searched for character  
strings!  
ABCDEF  
ABCDEF  
This being the case, you process the image data with OCR (text recognition) software to  
retrieve textual information from the image and transparently superimpose the information  
onto the image data. By doing so, the image data can be stored as a PDF file with textual  
information.  
Although such a PDF file appears to be image data, it has been made searchable, like the  
text file, with textual information superimposed.  
Only files scanned with the ScanSnap can be converted.
