The product works well, but I am getting a straight line on a few lines on the right side of the scanner. This causes a few letters to not be copied on the finished scan. Maybe the paper is not perfect when being entered into scanner.
After approximately 2,000 scans, I think I have a good handle on the pro's and con's:Pro's: small footprint, easy setup, intuitive controls, duplex (scans both sides), saves scans as PDF files, straightens out scans that feed crooked, OCR permits searching of your scans.Con's: document has to be carefully fed or won't scan, the software freezes frequently (the remedy is to unplug the scanner for a few seconds and then reconnect), the searchable PDF requires purchasing Adobe Acrobat (which is expensive -- make sure you factor this large expense into your calculations), the software has difficulty identifying and deleting blank pages.
This Fujitsu Scansnap S300 portable scanner is a fabulous piece of equipment.For the price, it is a great investment. I am a Real Estate and Mortgage Loan Broker. Now I am able to scan my clients documents into my laptop in a snap.It really works. Great product.
Great little desk accessory, compact, quick, easy software. Dissapointed that it'll only scan to pdf files, sometimes I want to scan and save to color jpg (real estate survey) and this software doesn't provide for that. But all in all a great time saver for me to scan and email contracts to clients.
You can create searchable PDFs, but you can't search them unless you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat. This will cost you another couple of hundred bucks (just having Adobe Acrobat Reader won't do). Alternatively you will need to install Google or Windows Desktop Search to find documents that match your criteria. I found the marketing misleading in this point, and what you get is a greyed out Search button in the document organizer app, and a smallprint in the Help that says "Search function requires Adobe Acrobat v 7.0 or greater".
