Capturing TABS using ELAN Capture
The requirement is to scan and print a 3-ring binder that contains many pre-printed tabs. The tabs will be presented in a final PDF file as bookmarks (PDF outline). The bookmarks can be used to control a production printer that will pull tabs at the printing time.
Note: the printer control software (used to print the tabs) is not included.
