What Palm Beach Homeowners Are Asking About Document Scanning

Here are the most common questions Island residents ask when they’re ready to digitize their files.

How do I convert my paper files into digital format without losing quality?
Palm Beach Copy uses high-resolution scanners to capture crisp, clear images. Each document is reviewed for readability before it’s saved to disk or drive.

Can fragile or oversized documents be scanned?
Yes. From brittle letters to large blueprints or art prints, their equipment can handle a wide range of materials safely.

Which file format should I choose—PDF, TIFF, or JPEG?
For most records, searchable PDF is best. TIFF is used when archival quality is needed. JPEG is ideal for photos and visuals. Staff can advise based on your purpose.

Will I get my originals back?
Absolutely. All originals are returned after scanning unless you choose to have them securely destroyed.

Can my documents be searchable?
Yes—through Optical Character Recognition (OCR). That means you can search for names, dates, or keywords across your digital archive in seconds.

Do you pick up and deliver?
Yes. Palm Beach Copy offers free local pickup and delivery for most scanning projects. Perfect for Island residents who prefer convenience.

How is privacy protected?
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of their service. Files are scanned in-house at their West Palm Beach facility—never shipped out of state or overseas. Staff are trained for secure handling, especially for legal or financial documents.

Can you label or organize files for me?
Yes. Digital files can be named and categorized by year, client, or topic to make retrieval simple.

How long will it take?
Turnaround depends on volume, but most small to mid-sized projects are completed within a few business days.
