By using the ABBYY FineReader software included in the bundled version of the scanner, you save a scan to a Word doc (access to FineReader is integrated in the menu that appears after a scan). There will probably be scanning errors that will have to be edited.

Does the ScanSnap S1500 have an adjustable paper guide in order to handle business checks which would be my main use.Does the ScanSnap allow you to save files that you have created using Windows 7

No, you cannot edit documents scanned in this way directly. This device only helps you take a good picture of the document... so top edit, you would need to get Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to read the text in the picture. That's not handy.

This little scanner is a simple yet quick scanner. While it can scan TO a searchable PDF file it cannot "create" one. Being able to search a document is dependent on the software you are using to save the scanned document to.

If you are speaking of the bundle software versus just the scanner the answer is "YES!". The software alone has a value equal to or exceed the cost of the scanner alone. Adobe so that you can create and edit PDF's. The disk had both the old Rack2Filer and the new Rack2Filer Smart software which is the way to store documents (and the source file as well which can be edited from the binders". Cardminder, though not perfect with many of the new creative business cards, is also useful software. If you are in an organization using SharePoint you can save directly to your SharePoint site with the added software. In my opinion the scanner without the software is just a way to create a PDF almost like having and auto without any roads. We had used the earlier S1500 the ix500 is a great improvement.

I believe it is. As of now, I'm just using the full version of Adobe. As I get more organized, I expect the Rack2Filer will come into play.The scanner itself is excellent, making fast 2-sided scans with excellent resolution/quality.

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.

Hi there. This scanner saves in the following formats: BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, Multi-page TIFF, PDF, PNG, Single-Page TIFF, and XPS. Enjoy!

No. That's nothing whatsoever to do with Twain. (The included non-Twain software has loads of options for whatever way you want it to scan for you.) Twain just means certain open Twain software works with the hardware you are buying. Forget it here, you don't need such compatibility with this machine as it has it's own *very good* software (along with a separate copy of Adobe Acrobat software, which just allows extra PDF manipulation after you have scanned-in the paper docs - which you probably won't need anyway if just scanning docs for basic archiving/emailing/receipts/etc.). It's worth noting that the machine has been out for YEARS now, and all the included software receives regular free updates for at least each new OS release, hence open Twain software is not needed as the included software will work on every new OS released for the foreseeable future (Win AND Mac versions are supplied! [except Acrobat version]). And as the included software works efficiently to quickly make scans in PDF (or JPG - which are also possible on this machine), manipulation afterwards can be done using *any* software you own. Anyway, definitely get this S1500 (or perhaps S1500M if Mac user. Apart from machine colour, the only difference being the version of Acrobat supplied with the machine being for Mac). It's been out a few years now, but is still the best reasonably affordable machine on the market - I know as I've tried quite a few!

The Samsung printer I had before this one, did. You scanned from the printer and it would show up on you computer as a PDF. I cannot figure out how to do it on this one. I scan and the print a PDF printer software. It's frustrating.

Yes, I saw your question and decided to try it. You are able to scan to the USB, it allows you to save in PDF, JPG or TIF (and possible other) formats.

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 scanner works OK on Windows 7. Unfortunately the software does not. Scansnap Organizer is extremely slow and freezes up often. When trying to move a newly scanned document to another folder within SS Organizer it just stops and freezes for as long as three minutes before completing the move; sometimes it never does move the doc and I have to use End Process in the task manager to close it. I'm (trying to) running a Scansnap S300 on Windows 7 Home Premium, latest software, firmware, and drivers.I'm looking to replace it now.Jim

No. It has a word processing program, but it is not Word, and cannot be easily converted to .doc or .docx.

Scanning documents is easy. The thing eats batteries and is a pain if there are staples in the documents or if you are trying to scan a book. The file sizes are BIG even if you choose small ones. I've had to get apps to shrink them if I am going to save them, even as .pdfs. Over all, I love the scanner because it saves me a huge amount of time.

It can b, t doable. The software included in th scanner driver contins OCR (Optical Character Recognition).If you scanning a clean document, the OCR will recognize text, so it wll be possble to save it as a text document and later format and convert into Word document.
