Dear Esther, This is very interesting. Do you know whether Abbyy supports automatic page orientation and multi-page scanning? Does it support two page scanning as in an open book on a flat-bed scanner? Does it append pages to the end of the document by default, or does one have to move one's cursor there?
I shall check this application out.
