Creation of searchable pdf image using PIXMA MX922 scaner

retiredguy2000 — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:36:42 GMT

According to the PIXMA MX922 manual I should be able to create a searchable pdf document using the U Scan utility. Manual states that by checking the box in the Data Format Settings that says: Create a pdf image that supports keyword search" a searchable pdf document will be created. Problem is there is no such option in my U Scan utility.

Anyone able to help be find a way to scan to a searchable pdf document?

Okay. Working under the assumption you have the IJ Scan Utility open already.
Click the "Settings" button in the lower right.
Select "Document Scan" from the left-hand column.
Scroll down until you see "Save Settings" on the right.
Underneath "Save Settings" you should see "Data Format: PDF (Multiple Pages)"- to the right will be another button that says "Settings." Click that.
Now you should have a window open with a checkbox to create a PDF file that supports keyword search.

Hope this helps!

Have all that but no option in the Data Format Settings Window to "
Create a pdf image that supports keyword search."

Selecting the "Instructions" button on the "document Scan" Settings window takes me to a canon instruction page that state I should have this option, but it isn't there.

Hmmmm weird. Did you install the driver from the CD or the website?

Website. Did so again today and presume I got the most updated version. Did send an email to Canon support -- hope they will reply with something useful.

Website typically has the most up-to-date version. I was going to suggest installing from there if you had installed with disc initially. I double checked, both my Windows 7 and 8.1 computers had the searchable PDF box available.
