Hard Copy Processing refers to converting physical documents, also known as hard copies, into electronic or digital formats. This process involves scanning paper documents using specialised equipment and software to create digital replicas of the original files.
During Hard Copy Processing, the scanned documents are often saved in various electronic formats such as PDF, JPEG, or Tiff. Additionally, relevant metadata, such as document titles, dates, or tags, can be added to make the digital files easily searchable and organised.
