As you may have noticed, we recently released Nitro PDF Professional OCR, adding the  functionality of Optical Character Recognition to our flagship product. Users of Nitro Pro who haven’t made the switch can still digitize and archive their paper documents, with improvements to Scan-to-PDF functionality in the most recent update (6.0.2.6). 

Nitro Pro provides you with an easy way to convert your paper documents to digital form for easier storage and access. Depending on the type of scanner you have, you will be able to convert pages one at a time, or do whole collections of pages in the one process. If you need to, you can also merge documents as you go to create the one complete PDF document.

To scan paper documents to PDF:

1. On the Create and Convert tab, in the Create group, click From Scanner .
2. In the Create PDF From Scanner dialog, select your scanner, the sheets to scan, image compression, and then specify the destination.
3. Click Scan to open your default scanning software.
4. Select the mode of scanning—color, grayscale, or monochrome/black-and-white.
5. Select the menu command to return to Nitro PDF Professional.
6. Select the Finish option to end your scanning job, or select Scan front of sheet two to continue scanning.
