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.
