Hi Anne, What is your workflow when scanning with vuescan and fineReader express? Do you first scan all pages with vueScan, and then hand them all off to FineReaer to do the OCR? If so, would VueScan store all pages in one big image document such as pdf, or will I get 80 loose files out of vuescan that I'll feed into FineReader?
Kind regards, Paul. On Jun 29, 2013, at 3:37 PM, Anne Robertson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Donna, > > I haven't got a scanner with an automatic document feeder so I can't test > this.
