Which program i must to use for modified one scaned document?

Answer 1

Hello Dude,

Generally, once you scan a picture it is created in one of two, possibly 3 formats. Picture, PDF, or if you have an OCR scanner, it might create a word document.

1. Picture. 90% of the time, when you scan a document, it turns it into a picture, either a TIFF, JPG, or BMP. In order to modify these pictures, you will need some sort of picture editing software. Microsoft word does not edit pictures very well, nor does any word processing program. try http://www.gimp.org

2. PDF. Portable Document Format. This is a format that was created by Adobe, and pretty much has become a standard. There are many PDF editors, like Adobe Acrobat Professional, not Reader, out there that can edit a PDF. They are about $100.

3. OCR. (Optical Character Recognition) If your scanner is an OCR scanner, what it tries to do is recognize letters, numbers, and formats and create a rtf or txt document that you can edit. Now, this is not an exact science and I have not had a lot of luck with it myself, however, if you need a document like this, OCR is the way to go.

Good luck my friend.
