on
2. If you want to perform automatic conversion into searchable PDF, click the
[Yes] button, and if not, click the [No] button.
● ScanSnap Organizer is capable of making searchable PDF files by embedding
textual information in PDF files, which are the image data scanned with the
ScanSnap. There are two methods to use this function:
- Manually select only necessary PDF files to convert them into searchable files.
- Automatically convert PDF files added in the predetermined folder ([My ScanSnap]
folder).
To select the former method, click the [No] button; for the latter, click the [Yes] button.
● The “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings” dialog box can be hidden form view. Mark
the “Do not show this message again” checkbox if you don’t want to see this dialog
box again.
● Every log-in user can use his/her own “PDF Automatic Conversion Settings.”
Automatic conversion is executed while the user who added the PDF file into the [My
ScanSnap] folder logs on Windows and whenever any other applications are not
running on the computer. If the automatic conversion is not complete by the time the
user logs off, it will be restarted when the same user logs in again.

2.2. Operating Window
The following is an example of the ScanSnap Organizer main window, which is displayed at
startup. This window provides the controls that you can use in ScanSnap Organizer.
<Main Window>
About the image display in ScanSnap Organizer
●
ScanSnap Organizer creates cache data (temporarily stored data) of PDF files
capable of being thumbnailed so that it can display images faster. The cache data
is stored in the hidden “.organizer” subfolder in the folder where the relevant PDF
file is stored. If it is deleted accidentally, it takes time to display images. Be careful
not to delete the cache data.
●
●
ScanSnap Organizer cannot create cache data of PDF files saved in unwritable
media such as the CD even if it displays the image of these PDF files. If you want
to display images faster, once copy the files from the said media into the hard disk
to create cache data, and then store the files with the cache data in the CD again.
After scanning, images may not appear immediately or no images may appear
while additional operations such as password settings are being applied. If images
do not appear after setting a password, select [Refresh] from the [View] menu.

Appendix 1. About Searchable PDF Files
Appendix 1. About Searchable PDF Files
(1) What is a searchable PDF file?
When a paper document is scanned and stored in the form of PDF file, all information in the
document such as text, pictures, and charts is output as one image.
In such cases, characters in the scanned document are not searchable because they are the
image without textual information.
This being the case, you process the image data with OCR (text recognition) software to
retrieve textual information from the image and transparently superimpose the information
onto the image data. By doing so, the image data can be stored as a PDF file with textual
information.
Although such a PDF file appears to be image data, it has been made searchable, like the
text file, with textual information superimposed.
Only files scanned with the ScanSnap can be converted.
For details on how to convert PDF files into searchable PDF files, see “3.3. Converting
