Is this sentance correctly formated?

'Only if we scan the document, will we be able to process it.' Or is there any other usage which is right?

Greetings, Archanaa, and welcome to the Forums! Your sentence features subject-operator inversion after an adverbial with a limitive meaning ( only ). It is correct save for the comma - you don't need one here: Only if we scan the document will we be able to process it.
