Hello,

I'am very new at this. What I have is a Fujitsu Scansnap S5100 Scanner and what I'm doing is scanning product folders and creating searcable PDF files. Also, I'am creating cover sheet and table of contents page in word then converting to PDF and inserting into file. The product part manual that is created is approximately 400 pages long and some of it is searchable bill of materials. The table of contents will be linked to each page that it list. What the best way to go about this type of project-step by step. I will be using Scansnap Manager and Acrobat 9 standart and fMS Word 2003.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.1.1, Windows

Hi,
Just some quick, ad hoc ideas.
After completion of the scan jobs to PDF files you may want to consider combining them (if not already done).
Build your "link" docment in word. Links go the the PDF file(s) (e.g., target file's file extension is *.pdf).
Output the Word file to a PDF file.
Put this file at the front of the PDF that combined the PDFs from the scanning.
Use Acrobat to edit the links appropriately.
Perhaps, in the initial PDF containing the scanned images, you could establish destinations at desired locations.
When editing the "link" PDF pages, have a link go to a desired destination.
Ocr scanned content. This will support users use of "find".

Be well...
