I assume you are talking about scanning in a plain paper document with no particularly unusual formatting. What you'll get in ABBY is an editable representation of that document with ABBY's best guess as to the identity of poorly or lightly printed characters. You then work through the document, page by page and line by line making any corrections that you require. After that you can save the edited document to MS Word or to your favorite word processing program for further touch-up. How much touch-up required depends on your preferences set in the word processing program and how closely those preferences match those that you chose in ABBY. The most obvious match-up you'd want to watch for is font type and point size. Margins, indents, tab spacing and line spacing settings are also important. You want the document in the word processor to look as closely as possible like the paper document you originally scanned into ABBY. This may take a little playing around to get right, but is tedious rather than difficult. For a reasonably clearly printed paper document, the accuracy of the letter-by-letter translation into the editable image will surprise you. As to headers, footers and page numbers, you can de-select those before you save the edited image to your word processing program, simply by drawing a box around the elements of the image that you want to save.

Not sure, my scanner has the software to create scanned docs into PDF format. I use this software to convert MS Office files to PDF.

I have scanned in single sheets and put each as a document into a file. I have not scanned in multiple sheets as one document to put in a file, so I don't know if that's possible. Sorry I can't help more.

It scans documents into PDF files. You can organize the documents into file folders. Very easy to do.

The software handles this well. Use assembly view, drag-and-drop pages into the new document, save it, and you're done.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

You can append pdf, but you have to switch software. I scan docs with the ScanSnap S1500 manager (from button in tray) then use Paperport 14 for manipulating and filing - if necessary. It would be preferable if it had a twain driver so I could do everything from within Paperport. But relatively speaking, this is a minor incovenience - for me. I can see it could be a bit of a headache for others.

It isn't a complete substitute in that even thought it will open and edit Office files, there will be occasional incompatibility. It does have the functionality of Office and some nuances that many find to be big advantages, such as easily being able to "reveal codes" to see why a document is behaving the way it is. That is something that has been invaluable when formatting is an issue. I find I can do things with WP I just can't get Office to do.

Word processor does not come by default. You may need to buy MS office 2010 for document creation needs.

While pages scan individually, it is fairly simple to highlight all scanned pages in a document and then press/enter the stack instruction. One great point-- documents are automatically straightened, which I find to be a big time saver.

After a week of use I can reiterate that this is possible. I have converted full pages of handwritten notes (8.5 x 11) . The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is pretty good. Just click on the page in the Livescribe+ app and swipe to the right. The handwritten notes are converted into text. I find that my numbers do not always convert correctly, but editing is simple from within the app

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.

When I scan, the file is a Kodak Easy Share which to my knowledge cannot be edited, but changing it to a PDF file from the Kodak file does make it posible to edit, at least that's what my nephew tells me. I've never needed to edit a file. Good Luck Theresa!

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.

It read my Microsoft word and excel documents without conversion. If you make changes it can write it in its ODT format. Great software

Yes you will be able to view them, but will need a word processing such as MS Word or Apple Pages to edit the documents.
