Note

  • If you select [Store to HDD] under [Store File], you can only select [PDF (JPEG 2000)] or [OCR Settings], and files are stored as single-page files.

  • The version of the created PDF files is 1.4.

  • If [PDF (JPEG 2000)] is selected in the PDF File Setting of the file type, you can reduce the file size without changing the character legibility of uncompressed PDF files. PDF/A is suitable for storing data for a long period of time. For the limitations that apply to each file type, see Notes about and limitations of file types.
