Introduction

• The following digitization workflow involves an Epson flatbed scanner, Epson Scan software, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Adobe Acrobat Pro.

• The workflow is for unbound standard size textual records, such as correspondence, manuscripts, administrative records, and other standard size documents that are typically stored in letter or legal size file folders and archival boxes.

• The workflow is also suitable for journals, books, and other bound items that have been unbound for the purposes of digitization.

• Oversize items and bound items should be scanned on the SMA Scan Master 0 scanner using the workflow for digitizing oversize items and bound multi-page items.
