Acrobat for Legal Professionals

Rick's Scanning Article on LLRX.com

LLRX.com is a great destination for legal professionals.

This independent, web journal for legal, library, and marketing professionals is— amazingly— a one-woman operation!

Sabrina Pacifici is the brains behind this site which receives more than 130,000 unique readers each month.

When Sabrina asked me to contribute an article that would appeal to a large number of legal pros, I immediately thought about scanning and OCR.

Almost everyone has to find a way to get paper documents into their computer.

Read on for a link to the article and a brief summary.

Scanning and OCR with Acrobat 8

Scanning and OCR with Acrobat 8 on LRX.com (Opens in a new window) isn't my first article on the subject.

In fact, there are six articles on the subject in the Acrobat OCR section.

Sabrina, however, needed a longer, more comprehensive article that would also work for beginner users.

For that reason, the article discusses:

  • How to upgrade to versions of Acrobat which offer better OCR
  • Scanner Drivers
  • Setting up your scanner
  • What you can do with the OCRd PDF

There are lots of screen shots.

Enjoy!
