(b) Open the DTP Version in its native format (Normally with PageMaker) and export the publication into PDF format. (c) PDF files obtained in such a manner are light and best as compared to other methods. (ii) For Publications where DTP Version is not available: (a) Scan pages having TEXT ONLY with scanner resolution 200 DPI in black and white. (b) Scan pages having B/W DIAGRAMS with scanner resolution 300 DPI in black and white. (c) Scan pages having COLORED DIAGRAMS with scanner resolution 300 DPI in COLOR. (d) Scan pages having COLORED PHOTOs with scanner resolution 600 DPI in COLOR. (e) Save as Multi-page PDF file. (iii) In case text searching is required, but display quality does not matter: (Files obtained by scanning as above) (a) Use CAPTURE Feature of ACROBAT (iv) In case text searching is required but display quality can not be compromised: (Files obtained by scanning as above) (a) Use a OCR Package and save as Document File format (Word) (b) Proof read Document Files obtained and manually correct errors introduced in OCR Process. (c) Print / Convert Document Files as PDF Hope it helps, SUKHDEV SINGH, NIC.
