4.4 Creating <strong>PDF</strong> from screen captures<br />
<strong>Nitro</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> lets you create <strong>PDF</strong>s directly from your screen captures or ‘screenshots.’ Taking<br />
captures of your computer screen and then putting them straight into <strong>Nitro</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> works<br />
particularly well when you want to add comments or drawing markups to the image you’ve captured.<br />
To create a <strong>PDF</strong> from a screen capture:<br />
1. Press the Print Screen key.<br />
2. On the Home tab, in the Convert group, click the arrow below Create <strong>PDF</strong> .<br />
3. Click Create <strong>PDF</strong> from Clipboard .<br />
4.5 Creating <strong>PDF</strong> from scanner<br />
<strong>Nitro</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> provides you with an easy way to convert your paper documents to digital form for<br />
easier storage and access. Depending on the type of scanner you have, you will be able to convert pages<br />
one at a time, or do whole collections of pages in the one process. If you need to, you can also merge<br />
documents as you go to create the one complete <strong>PDF</strong> document.<br />
To scan paper documents to <strong>PDF</strong>:<br />
1. On the Home tab, in the Convert group, click the arrow below Create <strong>PDF</strong> .<br />
2. Click Create <strong>PDF</strong> From Scanner .<br />
3. In the Create <strong>PDF</strong> From Scanner dialog, select your scanner, the sheets to scan, image compression,<br />
and then specify the destination.<br />
4. Click Scan to open your default scanning software.<br />
5. Select the mode of scanning—color, grayscale, or monochrome/black-and-white.<br />
6. Select the menu command to return to <strong>Nitro</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Professional</strong>.<br />
7. Select the Finish option to end your scanning job, or select the Scan front of sheet two to continue<br />
scanning.<br />
4.5.1 Image compression settings<br />
When scanning to <strong>PDF</strong> with <strong>Nitro</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Professional</strong>, the type of compression used—color, grayscale, or<br />
monochrome—is determined by the output setting you select in your default scanning software. Therefore,<br />
if you intend to do a color scan, you can just leave the leave the Monochrome list setting as None.<br />
• Compression level slider. The slider gives you quick control over how much compression to apply to<br />
your scanned pages, with the basic principle being that the lower quality you choose, the less dots<br />
per inch (dpi) and the smaller the file size will be. Approximately 50% will compress images to 96 DPI<br />
(fine for viewing on-screen), 60-70% will compress them to 150 DPI (fine for printing), 80+% will<br />
compress them to 300 DPI or higher (reasonable for high quality printing and archiving).<br />
• JPEG Compression. Designed for photos and other graphics with very smooth and detailed tone<br />
changes.<br />
• CCITT Group 4 Compression. Designed for monochrome or black-and-white images, it suits the<br />
scanning of plain text documents, faxes, and so on.<br />
• JBIG2 Compression. Designed for monochrome or black-and white images, it suits the scanning of<br />
plain text documents, faxes, and so on. Pages scanned with JBIG2 compression tend to be smaller<br />
than CCITT Group 4 pages, but they take longer to generate.<br />
