PDF files are converted into searchable files. Searchable PDF files can be searched
quickly with a specified character string.
Moreover, conversion to searchable PDF files can be executed while the computer
(CPU) is idle, so that other operations will not be disturbed.

rotated, deleted, moved, inserted, deskewed, and cropped, and keywords can be
added to a file).
z Files can be sent by e-mail and printed.

z To improve display performance, ScanSnap Organizer creates cache data. The cache data is
created for a PDF file that can be viewed as a thumbnail, and placed in the hidden folder
[.organizer], which is created in the folder in which the PDF file is stored. Cache data is created for the pages that are displayed in thumbnails. Do not delete this data; deleting the data
may adversely affect the display performance.

as CD-ROMs. To display image data faster, copy the files to the hard disk to create cache
data, and then save the files and cache data altogether on media such as a CD-R.
