Scanning Using Adobe Acrobat
| Using Spotlight Search (Command + Space) on the connected iMac, open "Adobe Acrobat Pro" | |
| Wait to be prompted to sign into Adobe Creative Cloud and sign in by first typing in your UVID@luc.edu address, this should then redirect you to a Loyola Single-Sign On window | |
| Sign in using your UVID and password on the Single-Sign On Page | |
| Now, you should have full access to Adobe Acrobat Pro's functionalities | |
| In the top menu, go to File > Create > PDF from Scanner | |
| Select scanner "EPSON Perfect V600 (ICA)" from the drop-down menu. On this screen, you can also further customize your scanned document with options for quality, scanning multiple pages, and OCR. | |
| Loan your material on the scanner and click "Scan" | |
| Double-click "EPSON Perfect V600" under "Devices" and click "Scan" | |
| Rearrange pages and make edits as necessary in your scanned document on Adobe Acrobat PDF | |
| When you are ready to save your finished scanned document, go to File > Save As... Now, you can send or print the document from your saved location. | |
| Don't forget to take your original document from the scanner when you're done! |
