Genemonkey 3 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm new to scannable. I like the way it scans but it is very hard to navigate and there doesn't seem to be a proper menu. I scanned some docs the other day and they were in my tray. Used again for the second time today. Got home nothing there. I thought I had lot of individual scans but luckily they all seem to have been saved to Evernote, but unluckily as one document. I was trying to work out how to send them individually or in sets. They seem to have been sent by the app. So now I have two gigantic documents in pdf in evernote and no scans in scannable. Is there any way to break up the pdf into the individual scans again? I need to be able to send different bits to different systems. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,072 Posted May 8, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi. Can't comment on Scannable - I use Windows and Android so the app is not available yet ( ) but splitting PDFs I can help with - The PDF files you create aren't necessarily searchable, because each page may be an image, wrapped in a PDF file. (Some PDF apps will allow you to combine several JPG files into one PDF) Images take up (a lot) more space than text. An fully OCR version of a 50MB file forinstance should be a small fraction of the size. If you're saving your file in Evernote - free users don't get the automatic OCR of an uploaded file which Plus/ Premium users enjoy - do your own OCR and upload a PDF file in text mode, which Evernote can then index for searches. A lot of PDF editor apps have the ability to split and merge files, and some can also OCR. PDFSam http://www.techradar.com/downloads/pdf-split-and-merge (free software) will do the splitting and merging thing for the moment. PDFsam basic is free and open source platform-independent software designed to split, merge and rotate pdf files. http://www.pdfsam.org/ There are lots out there - do a search with "pdf split and merge" plus your OS for options.
