It does convert to PDF, I can't say if it will work without Adobe since I have Adobe installed.

I think it does. I have not used it much on Jpg. I have used it on pdf and even here it picks up some photos in pdf. I have been more interested in articles and text. interested in articles and text so at this time I cant verify

Yes and no. It isn't a true document scanner so you are manually scanning each and every page. The main point of interest is the optical character application (Adobe's ABBYY FineReader Version 9). This converts scanned text to either PDF or Word format. It's not a bad program for pamphlets and pure text documents. However I was hoping to scan a workshop manual for my car - that was a Fail for reasons that have more to do with Word than with FineReader. In short I am now looking for document scanning software because nothing included with the scanner was up to the task I was attempting.

The one I bought never worked right, it would not feed the document through. I threw it away. And got a thing called cam scanner for my Android phone. It's the only scanner I've needed in 4 years. No need for Windows and it does ocr and allows me to save as pdf so I can do whatever I want with it all from my phone or tablet.

Yes. I scan multi page documents and when finished the computer screen prompts you with, "Finished Scanning?"You then choose location to save file, name the document, and it saves it as a PDF file.

yes, you can scan to pdf in color or black and white -- either to your computer or to a portable memory device

Yup it does, but mainly for epub formats :)If your text in a pdf happens to be stored as an image, it doesn't work with the dictionary lookup.

i have the exact same problem! no 'scan to pdf' on this model? if not, the manual is very much incorrect.

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.

Unfortunately the answer is "no". The program only recognizes scans as pictures and not characters.

The answer to your question is No. Your Scans are saved as PDF or JPG on to a Scan Disc then transferred to your Computer. You then name or Label the PDF/ JPG.Items can then be sorted inside the folder as you would any collection of files.You might be able to scan Business Cards (if you're clever) but I think a Plastic DL would be too thick, and the slick surface would give you trouble.

I scanned hundreds of school work documents on my iMac G5 PowerPC - OSX Leopard in 2009 and I believe I used some online service to convert everything from image to pdf. Because I wanted my school documents specifically stored as PDF; but I guess I should have kept jpg for the google automatic photo backup.

Yes this allows you to scan multiple pages into one PDF document. You do have to feed each page individually, but it goes pretty quickly.

Sven Golly, does it not do scan to PDF anymore? My old one (I'm looking for a replacement) used to go directly to PDF and after copy-paste, you could edit the text.

It scans documents, so yes, it will store them as well. You can tell the software what folder to scan to, whether it's pdf, image scans or other scan types. You can then edit your scan from that folder, and move it to where you want it be stored.

You can scan documents as .pdf or Word and store the documents in container fields or references (file paths) to them.
