Hello Paul, I first scan all pages with VueScan which puts all the images into one file. That's why it's so efficient. Cheers, Anne On 1 Jul 2013, at 14:05, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi Anne, > > What is your workflow when scanning with vuescan and fineReader express? Do > you first scan all p

Hi Anne, What is your workflow when scanning with vuescan and fineReader express? Do you first scan all pages with vueScan, and then hand them all off to FineReaer to do the OCR? If so, would VueScan store all pages in one big image document such as pdf, or will I get 80 loose files out of vues

Hi Donna, The problem that i personally get when trying to scan with my adf multiple times if using finereader on the mac: After a few tries the adf works fine, so it can scan continuously, but when you have inserted the next load in the pdf and hit scan in finereader you will again have to set

Hi Anne, so I have a scanner with an automatic document feeder that holds approx 50 pages. Is it not possible to start a scan in ABBYY and just have it scan continuously as long as there is paper in the document feeder? It is possible to do this in Windows, so it seems like it ought to be pos
