Hi Simon, I know that ABBYY Fine Reader on the Fujitsu ScanSnap supports very fast dual sided multi-page scans and automatic page orientation and two-page scanning, but since that is the version of the app that is bundled with the manufacturer's product (which is not flatbed, but page fed

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 on

Hi Will, I don't know that international people can't take advantage of the discount. All I reported on was the existence of a 20 per cent discount coupon, and the savings this would translate into for U.S. buyers -- since that's the only price that I can view. Esther william lomas wrote
