What are the ideal scan settings to use with Monarch for PDF data extraction?

Hi All,

I'm new to Monarch, please point me to a FAQ if this has been answered already.

We receive scanned PDFs from a partner, and then we have to pull data off those files to do some analysis.  What scanning settings should we tell them to use?

That is, what is the ideal configuration/setting for a scanner to use, to enable the best/easiest data extraction later with Monarch?

Thanks in advance!

Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    As Monarch does not use Optical Character Recognition, your pdf file must contain text, not images of text.  I cannot say what settings are required by your scanner to pull the actual text into the pdf file.  Unfortunately such a detail is outside the scope of Monarch functionality.
