How To: Save to a Document File (Searchable PDF, MS DOC, HTML, etc.)

Files saved to Document file types retain searchable text. For example, when a file is saved as Document file type with PDF format, the resulting PDF file is automatically searchable.

To use the ePrint 6 printer, perform the following steps:

1.

While viewing a file in an application that supports printing, select File ➔ Print.

2.

When the Print dialog appears select "LEADTOOLS ePrint 6" from the Select Printer list and click OK.

3.

The LEADTOOLS ePrint Save As dialog will appear.

 

To use the ePrint Workstation, perform the following steps:

1.

Open a document in your preferred application that supports printing and select File ➔ Print.

2.

When the "Print" dialog appears, select "LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation" and click Print.

3.

The LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation will open with the printed document loaded into the work area as a print job for editing.

4.

From within the LEADTOOLS ePrint Workstation application, choose File ➔ Save As

 

After you get to the Save As dialog, whether you are using the ePrint Printer or the ePrint Workstation the steps are the same.

Perform the following steps in order to create a Document (in this case, Searchable PDF) file.

1.

Enter the filename in the File Name text box.
