Title: How to upload a book as a pdf ?
Post by: The Golden Girl =D on January 23, 2012, 05:57:20 pm

Salam

I was wondering if I'd like to make a Soft Copy of a Book I have , What are the steps I should take to put it up as a pdf ?

Example :

1. Scan (does it have to be a Specific scanner ? ... etc)
2. I don't know how to start after scanning it , Do I need to download a (Specific) Software or something ?


Thanks in Advance (:

You dont need a special kind of scanner.

What I do is, Scan the papers indiviually and they are saved as jpeg by defualt.
Then, i use a software to convert jpeg to pfd.

Thanks Ang3l :D

But I have one more Question to ask (:

The scanner we have isn't suitable for scanning a HUGE book (like a SAT 1 ) book or smthn ,so can you tell me what type of scanner do you have/use ?


Thanks (:

Sorry for the late reply.
What do you mean, it isn't suitable :s

I use a normal scanner, you have to print each page individually (if that is what you were asking) unless you have an ocr machine or something  :P
