What is Scanning?
Scanning, also known as digital imaging or digitizing, is very
much like a copy machine in that it allows you to make a copy of
something. You can scan photos, paper documents, books, magazines,
large maps, or even 3-dimensional objects (those that don't have a
lot of depth - coins for example), etc. But instead of creating
another piece of paper like a copy machine, a digital file is
created, which can be used in a PowerPoint presentation, a Web
page, a tutorial, a training CD, or enhanced and printed
out.

OCR - Optical Character
Recognition
OCR is the process of scanning a typed document and converting it
to a editable file such as a Word document. This is useful if you
have a paper copy of a document, but not the original
file.

PDF (Portable
Document File) Creation
PDFs are an easy way to distribute forms, technical drawings, or
other documents on the Web. PDFs preserve the formatting and
appearance of your original document. A PDF version of a form can
be created so that it can be filled out online. To read a PDF file,
users need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a free plug-in for their
web browser.
