Hi Nic, Thank you very much for this explanation. It helps a lot to understand how it works.
Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, say I have a form which has been filled by hand and I want to scan it with Finereader in order to save its exact image to keep a record of it, I would scan the form and than export it to pdf. Is that correct? Thanks again., Nic.
