With OpenOffice, you can can the document into Writer and then export to
PDF. I have also scanned in a document and used it as the background and
then added appropriate text over top.
a) Forwarding to unsubscribed OP.
b) To James Knott: please, which software package/s allow/s OCR scanning
into Writer? Which OS/s do/es this/these package/s run under? I don't mean
RTF. Or, even with RTF, which software package/s can actually invoke
OpenOffice Writer when they have finished scanning? On which OS's?
I didn't say OCR scanning, I said I scanned in a document, used it as
background and then entered new text.
OK, I'll try again. Please explain in detail what software you used and what
file type(s) ("extensions" in Windows terminology) you used to get the
document as a background into Writer. Sorry, but to me "scan the document
into Writer" sounded as if your scanning software invoked Writer in the same
way as mine invoked Word when I had MS Office installed: my scanning
software would actually invoke Word when it had finished scanning the
document; there was *no* intermediate saved file (unless the scanning
software created and then removed a temporary working file for its own
internal purposes) and I did not have to intervene in any way. I'd dearly
love to find some good scanning software that would work in this way with
OOo; hence my persistence.
You can scan an image with any scanning software and create an image
that can be used as a "watermark". This image will then be the
background for a document that you create over top of it it. Check OO
help about watermarks.
