Scanning / TWAIN components
Here are the summary notes of Marco on evaluating using ActiveX objects for scanning;
The requirements were:
- Scanning fully controllable from VDF, no sticking progress windows etc.
- Save as a small compressed PDF 300dpi B/W
- PDF has no compression so large files - Constants were not enumerated in generated class - TWAIN window cannot be closed by VDF, so user must press cancel on 'foreign' dialog on completion + Cheap
+ Best compression + Also does background OCR and makes PDF searchable (the text highlites the corresponding bitmap text) + Nice continue dialog when Automatic document feeder runs out of paper - Automation is NOT provided for scanning... - Expensive
+ Small PDF ± Lots and lots of functionality; a bit daunting
+ Very small PDF + Several good simple examples, in easy to understand VB.Net + Good enumerated values + Personal email is send soon after download if you require support + Only Developer edition required. Fee distribution for Desktop applications
So, perhaps needless to say, we chosen for Dynamic Web Twain.
