Converting an Image to a Word/Excel/PowerPoint File
By using ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap, you can convert a scanned image to an editable file as a Word file, Excel file, or PowerPoint file.
Only images with the document type [Documents] and a PDF file format, which are scanned with the ScanSnap can be converted.
Even an image of a document scanned with the ScanSnap cannot be converted to a Word/Excel/PowerPoint file if a security setting other than the permissions password such as the document open password is set on the image.
If you take the contents in an image into consideration when selecting a format for the file to which the image is converted, considering the contents in the image, reproducibility of the image after it is converted becomes higher.
