Hints and Tips about Scanning



Scanning Overview
  • When scanning paper documents, GoldVisionPro™ can be used to as a one step link of the image files into GoldMine® system.  
    ·
  • Any scanned image can be dragged from the desktop or a working folder to the GoldVisionPro™ V-QuickLink without file conversion using the normal method in the GoldVisionPro™ V-QuickLink.
    ·
  • Additionally, some scanning software, such as Scansoft's PaperPort, allow  to setup a GoldVisionPro™ icon in the scanning program Window.  PaperPort allows  to configure the GoldVisionPro™ icon setup to first launch Adobe Acrobat to convert the image to a PDF file, and then automatically continue with the GoldVisionPro™ link process, all in one step.
