2.) Special features and potential pitfalls of this action:
Yes, there are some peculiarities and potential pitfalls you should be aware of when exporting marked pages to PDF with WinScan2Pdf :
1. Check the order of the pages
- When marking multiple pages, it may happen that the order in the PDF is not reflected as desired.
- If necessary, you can rearrange the pages by marking them again in the desired order .
2. Check quality settings
- Compression: Depending on the scanner or file format, the quality of the pages may vary. If the PDF becomes too large, a lower scan resolution may help.
- Image quality: If the exported pages are blurry, check the scan settings or upload high-resolution images.
3. Format differences in existing files
- Different page formats: If you combine pages of different sizes or formats (e.g. A4 and A5), this can lead to unwanted margins or scaling in the PDF.
- Existing PDFs: If you want to extract individual pages from an existing PDF file, a PDF editor such as PDF24 or SumatraPDF is often more suitable , as WinScan2Pdf is primarily intended for scans.
4. Note the storage location and file name
- If the save location is not selected manually, the PDF can be saved to a standard path (e.g. in the WinScan2Pdf directory or in "Documents" ) - this may require manual checking.
- Make sure that no special characters or very long file names are used, as this may cause problems when opening the PDF.
5. Software and driver compatibility
- If WinScan2Pdf does not capture pages correctly, updating the program or the scanner drivers may help.
- Some older scanners do not deliver the desired file formats or do not support multi-page scans - in this case, an alternative such as NAPS2 may be more suitable.
