Scan to searchable PDF and search using Windows Search

I use a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and try to create PDF files which is using Windows Search, i.e. display the directory tree and type a search term in the search box.

I tried to use the HPScan software to create a "Searchable PDF." type analysis  I also tried to create "editable text (OCR)" scan using both the HPScan software and directly from the printer.  I was able to select and copy text in all documents resulting (PDF and RTF) and I've seaerch for text in the document when the document is opened.  BUT what I need to be able to do is to find a document scanned on my computer looking into the content of the document itself (and not by the search for metadata or tags).

I checked to make sure that Windows Search is to search with the CONTENTS of the statement (he finds all Word documents...).  Is there something special I need to do in the software of HP on the printer itself ther to get this working?  Thanks in advance for your help.

(P.S.  I use Windows 7, 64-bit if it matters.)

I'm afraid that what you are wanting to do is not possible. There is a limitation in how Windows interacts with the PDF file format. It cannot index files as it can for a Word document. You will need to scan the documents in PDF format, and then convert them to Word document, so you can search for the best.

  • Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

    Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

    All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

    The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

    • Configuration of the default folder options.
    • reconstruction of the index
    • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
    • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
    • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
    • I checked this registry key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
    • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

    It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

    Frustrated!

  • "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option is missing from AutoPlay in Windows 7 64 bit

    I saw this question and answer:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/5c567ab1-208D-400D-9bce-0598d43a0574

    but I think I have a more serious problem. In Windows 7 RC, when I plugged in my camera or insert a memory card, I could choose "import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery", but in my new installation of Windows 7 RTM, on which I have installed Windows Live Photo Gallery, there is no "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option allotted me in the list of Control Panel AutoPlay or on the AutoPlay pop-up that appears when I plug in a camera.

    How can I get that back? Without this option, I have to go through the manual steps tedious to execute WLPG and manually choose to import from there and say what is my camera. It was much better under Vista and Win7RC when I had the simple auto play option.

    My PC is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I also installed WLPG on two new computers Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit my parents, and they have exactly the same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    Hello bitoclass,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    The Windows Live Photo Gallery import Option is not available from the AutoPlay on x 64 systems. Try the underside of work around to see this option.

    You can download LR 4.4.1 including the latest update here:

    Uninstall the current version of LR, you have it installed, download LR 4.4.1 installer and install it. I don't know what causes your problem with the update, but that a full installer for 4.4.1 can operate without any problems.

  • Total deletion of emails and folders using Windows Mail

    I use Windows mail, last night (10/07/13) wiped my entire email, folders I created, everything. The only thing is that there are records of statndard. I was on a pop 3 and since his arrival in South Carolina last week and get rid of verizon I don't know what happened. During this time, he had 17 updates from microsoft, which had started the download as well. I tried to clean my system with Evidence Eliminator and this is the first time, this never happened. I was a sure stop where he cleans your files and then is supposed to be closed, because there no I did a manual stop with the power button when it started 17 updates, rebooted and then I check my emails and everything has disappeared? HELPPPPPP!

    Do a search for *.eml and include the hidden files and folders. See if get you what it is.

    You can also try a system restore. Not likely to work, but worth a try.

  • System restore calendar is empty, cannot set new points and cannot use Windows help.

    Original title: registry problem affecting system restore etc.

    The system restore calendar is empty, I can't put new points, and I can't use Windows help because I can not type in the dialog box. If the problem is described in the doc #313853, the solution he proposed did not. Defeating my cleanups registry also seems not to help. Any suggestions?

    To all of you who have tried to help me with this problem, I recently came across a solution - I had to reinstall Internet Explorer, which I think had been compromised by my registry cleaner. I never use, so it didn't occur to me that there is something wrong with it. But that seems to have fixed all the problems.

  • How to delete the duplicate and photos using windows 7 x 64 bit?

    I have a new computer using windows 7 x 64 bit. I noticed a lot of photos and files duplicate on my hard drive. It seems that any device that you plug into the computer it automatically records in the library under documents, music, pictures, etc... When configuring my e-mail or import/export does duplicate the same info, instead of ask or inform it is a duplicate. Help someone. I can't go directly to MS supports without going through many unnecessary changes. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO?

  • I am YOA 70 and have used windows 2000 XP Prof. from the arch, too late to change. Not worried about support, this is the best OS ever. I have a copy of old 180-day evaluation. Can I use it or get another copy.

    What I can tell, the problem is simple... The solution cannot be more simple!

    "Can I use it or get another copy."

    After the expiry of 180 days would be illegal to continue using it without a valid license, even using worarounds or reinstalling the operating system.

    The windows 2000 and Windows XP are different products, but the answer is the same, they are abandoned products would be very difficult to buy a license. You can search the remaining stocks, would be not easy but possible to buy it.

    "best OS ever."
