Technical Information
Typically we would create either TIFF,
JPEG or PDF file formats. More and more PDF is becoming the norm.
PDF is now a recognised ISO file format,
we can obviously create these formats:
PDF/A-1b Compact
ISO19005-1 Level B
PDF/A-1b Raster ISO
19005-1 Level B
Searchable PDF files - In
addition using our powerful PixEdit software, for which we are the UK
distributor, the PDF files can be made searchable using OCR technology.
Legal Admissibility -
scanning on-site and off-site can be in accordance with BIP0008/BIP0009.
For on-site scanning procedures can be written for your specific
specification.
Indexing - Once
your information has been scanned, you will need an efficient method of
searching and retrieving it. Information that is scanned will need to
be indexed with its attributes, for example drawing numbers, document
number, titles, issue levels etc, information that is useful to you.
Normally is is not necessary to spend
thousands of pounds on document management software, for example utilising
searchable PDF files and naming each file with your index information means
that you will not need to purchase any software.
Some scanning project may require either a
simple document retrieval system or a comprehensive document management
solution, both of which we can provide.
Scans and index information can be returned on CD ROM
or loaded to our FTP server complete with search, view, print
software which can be easily configured for network access and well as
local CD based access, alternatively the data can be loaded onto the
DDMS Browser document management system |
