Hi Nick
We are scanning all our old reports and the new ones as they
arrive, we are scanning at 300dpi as this is the standard for images (150dpi
for text only) we are not using OCR. We are scanning straight to pdf, however
this is not an archival format unless you convert them to pdfa which can be
tricky.
Hope that helps
Gary

Subject: Scanning HER files
Hi HERO's
we are in the
process of sorting out scanning of our HER files and DC files, and are soon to
embark on a pilot project.
I just wondered if
any people had done this and had any advice on good companies/ones to avoid
(off list for that I would suggest...), or other helpful tips?
I also wondered if
anyone had any specifications for scanning work they may have produced, as well
as amounts of work to be done and prices quoted, that they would be
happy to send us so we could pinch the good bits.
We would be
interested in this for HER files (reports etc) as well as DC stuff
(applications and correspondence etc) that anyone would be willing to send
thanks
best wishes
