Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to scan a document at GUUG?

The cost depends on the number of pages, the format and any OCR for searchable text. For a few A4 documents we're talking a few euros; for whole archives we prepare tailored quotes. Email us at stampa@guug.it with the details and we'll reply within a few minutes with the exact cost.

Where can I scan a document in Rome?

At GUUG, Via di Porta Castello 29, Rome Prati, 200 metres from St Peter's. We work with professional archival scanners: A4/A3 document scanning, large formats up to A0, books and theses without damaging them, high-resolution photos and artworks.

Can you send the scans by email or WeTransfer?

Yes, we deliver the digital files by email, WeTransfer or on a USB stick. You choose the delivery format: standard PDF, PDF/A for long-term archiving, JPEG or TIFF for high-resolution images.

Do you make searchable PDFs with OCR?

Yes, on request we apply OCR (optical character recognition), which makes the text searchable inside the PDF. It's useful for archives, contracts, lecture notes, notarial deeds or administrative paperwork you'll need to consult later.

Can I scan a book without damaging it?

Yes, we use planetary scanners that capture the page from above: the book isn't opened flat to 180° and the binding isn't stressed. We regularly work on rare books, bound theses and university lecture notes.

Do you also scan large formats like floor plans or posters?

Yes, we scan up to A0 format (and beyond for individual pieces) with dedicated scanners for technical drawings, CAD floor plans, maps and posters. The final file preserves the fidelity of the original's lines and colours.

How long does it take to get the scans ready?

A few A4 documents are ready in 10-15 minutes. For larger volumes (archives, bulky contracts, whole books) it takes from a few hours to a day, depending on the quantity. We handle urgent jobs: call +39 06 4424 0707.
