Scan editable pdf (OCR) direct to a folder with OfficeJet Pro 9010 or 9020 ?

[CostinM]

Hello, 

what I need is to scan documents and save them as editable pdf(OCR) from the document feeder (ADF) direct to a folder on a DS216 Synology NAS.

My question is: can the OfficeJet Pro 9020 do exactly this? because the lower version 9010 can not! 

What I managed till now using my new OfficeJet Pro 9010: is to scan from the flatbed glas direct to a folder on NAS as not editable pdf. After hours of research and trials I found out that this is pretty much everything that this printer can do. Unfortunately not enough, and even by using my Macbook and HP Smart App, I was not able to save documents as editable files with OCR. 

Thank you all in advance for your support.

@CostinM, Welcome to HP Support Community!

I see that you'd want to scan as editable PDF on the HP Officejet Pro 9020 All-in-One Printer As per the printing specifications, yes, it is possible to scan as OCR/Editable PDF. Refer to the User Guide pages 67 to 70 for a detailed explanation of scanning as OCR.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello, 

first of all thank you to HP techSupport for their help.

Sort summary as I see it and concerning my HP OfficeJet Pro 9010:

- there are no differences between OfficeJet Pro 9010 and 9020 concerning OCR function

- documents can be scanned directly to folder on Server from the document feeder (ADF) or glass pad but not as editable documents (PDF/Doc) because the OCR-converter-app is not on the printer or on the server installed.

- documents can be scanned and sent to email as editable PDF or even WordDoc (I think that works just because the OCR-convertor runs under a HP server in this case ) --> this is also the only case when OCR function works for the printer!

Solution that it works for me: 

   1. scan files to folder on server as  normal PDF. ( thank you HP)

   2. let the so called "synOCR" app convert the files into editable PDF directly on the NAS. (Thank you Synology)
