Does the software make gigantic size pdf's (5mb+ per page of a B&W document) or more reasonable sizes?

I scanned a 350-page dissertation (typed, double-spaced, one-sided), and it created a 20mb PDF. That was at either 200 dpi or 300 dpi. A similar, 41-page document is 3.8mb. I see that others are creating smaller files. I may have to look at my settings.

I just scanned a one-page document and the image saved at 300 dpi was 49kb.

Very reasonable size. Awesome scanner. We use it every day. Not large files. 10 or 20 pages under 1 mb

Ramon, may I suggest to check the WEB site: http://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic_wand_portable_scannerIndeed it does PDF natively, and as far as Letter or A4, you need to understand the concept. You are not locked into a size, as you manually scan a "surface", be it small or large. You will need an editor if they are png files, so as to make them fit your desired proportions. I would suggest you read the manual from the manufacturer's WEB page. This is not a tool for mass scanning, but occasional note taking on the road, e.g. Library, as it is a tad tedious to use. In real life, you cannot scan a whole book with it!!!

Not that I know of. I figured out the double sided part which was great, I had a book that I needed to pdf scan. Scanning 1 doc, then saving 50 separate pdfs, boy, that would take a while... wish I had an answer.

I have never done anything as big as that, but I believe you should be able to do that with PagePlus X6 or X7. I have done essentially the same thing with much smaller articles. Breaking it down into chapters may help. VR, Jim Nolan VR

I suppose that depends on how you are using the machine. I have been printing photos. Power point slides and such with whatever memory came with the printer and I gzve never had an issue. I have not had to scan very large files just the odd photo or 20 page contract but so far everything runs great

Yes, I don't know what the max is...but I have scanned 5 doc's into one pdf

You can set the printer to print by PDF form- if the doc is ltr or legal, the printer will automatically select the correct size. Works great

I have never personally done this thru the included software as I have never tried it, I have always used a free PDF solution.

I have put manga on there and, frankly, I'm delighted. It depends on how word intensive your comic is, though. My first try was really a perfect fit, and only occasionally did I have to zoom in to read a word. For a two page layout, I simply flipped the layout to horizontal. My second manga's words were smaller, and I did find myself zooming in more often--a slight annoyance, yes--but after doing so I could read the print.The pictures were perfectly fine. No complaints there. Your battery life will be shorter, though (for your .jpgs, at least).For the record, all my mangas were in .jpg format. I can't speak to how .pdf will work.

What feature are you scanning them with? PDF? I use PDF. You can try to manually copy and paste onto your computer with the usb wire that they have. I usually do that and they come out as intended of an actual size paper.

Yup. Seems to work just fine. Also, a really nice software bundle is included - eliminates Adobe Acrobat - an excellent PDF Converter and PDF Creator is included. Good luck!

Hi: Actually it does pretty well. Even down to the size of a drivers license, although I'm not sure how many pieces you could feed at one time. It is a very good machine, the software is simple enough. I copied a book, 8.5x11, 50 pages, in a little over a minute. (front and back)

Yes, I have scanned 20-25 pages of different sizes into a single PDF. Need to be carefull with placement of pages in feeder to avoid jams.

Using the Epson scan program, you can do this. This program is surprisingly good, at least compared to what I'm used to (I had a Canon scanner previously). There is an option when you first start a scan telling it to ask for a prompt for more pages. You continue to add pages until you're done, then click on save, and it saves to multi-page PDF. Pretty easy, in my opinion.

I agree with Wright there. I don't know about flawless as it all also depends on many factors but all the Adobe apps like Photoshop cc 64 bit and acrobat etc., run very well.
