PDF files created from images can be very large and slow to download for online viewing. For scanned images, you can use the CONTENTdm OCR Extension for generating full text. Additionally, PDF is not ideal for scanned images because an item that has been scanned does not automatically contain embedded text.PDF files are not efficient nor provide an optimal end-user experience for scanned images, books, maps or newspapers. For example, PDF files are ideal for documents that were initially created as digital documentation, such as theses and city council minutes. Before you decide to use PDF over another format, consider whether your source materials are well-suited to this format, and whether your end-user experience would be optimized by using PDF.Additionally, pages of a compound object automatically generated from a PDF file will not count toward the total number of items on the server. The PDF features include: automatic conversion of multiple-page PDF files into compound objects, creation of thumbnail images from PDF files, and full text extraction.PDF files and PDF compound objects can be displayed inline in the Item Viewer and Compound Object Viewer by using Adobe ReaderĀ®.
