Saves them all in nice clean PDF documents that can easily be viewed on-screen.

I have a small law firm and keep much of it "paperless" by scanning all important documents.

When I do have to send document to the Microsoft world (like my credit union) that likely isn't set up to read DjVu files I use the djview4 viewer (also in the Ubuntu software center) to open the document then save it as a pdf

On the plus side, it is easy to unjam the paper, whereas with my Canon all-in-one, you can destroy precious documents if they are stuck in the feed

I have never had a problem with an overly mangled document or dropped pages

If there was one downfall it would be the free document organizer that comes with it.

I purchased this scanner because it had better reviews than the Neat Document Scanner.

It scans lightning fast, documents are easy to save and file.

My old Microtek 5950 sheet feeder died so I decided to do some research and find a better document scanner

Its realiable with rare jams if your documents are clean and properly cut and aligned

It saves time to scan important documents from home instead of needing to run to the office.

The ScanSnap S1500 is really a great document scanner, and I dare say it is probably one of the best ones out there

I scanned a document and converted it to an excel spreadsheet - it didn't miss a beat

I always have important documents available without having to carry them around with me

They also include a special plastic holder for odd shaped or small documents - a great addition

The stock Paperport type of transcribing software is mediocre, useless if you have a complex document you're trying to extract info from.

Also, I had some mix results with it's ability to straighten out documents that were slightly skewed

Every scanned document gave me the same error, "64 bit OS not compatible with device"

My only problem is that sometimes if the text is really small the scanner does not scan very clearly and I have had trouble scanning my document to a WORD file as it drops off some text when the conversion happens.

so I do not lose my documents I have scan.

The flexibility in accepting any document in any direction is great.

I do remote accounting and the flexible document filing this

Having Evernote perform the OCR means that the Fujitsu scanner doesn't slow down at all and my documents are easy to search because of the OCR

I found some of the software to be useless (except Acrobat X Standard, which I'm sure I'll find very useful going forward), granted, because really all I want is to scan important documents to PDF, the rest of it just gets in the way

Now, one or two clicks (seconds) and I'm reviewing beautiful documents.

This is a perfect document scamner

My husband and I started a project to scan all of our important documents and save to a file that we can then save to an external hard drive and keep in out safe so we do not have to keep boxes/file drawers full of papers.

However, if you are scanning spanking new documents, YMMV.The scanner comes with only one button, which is something Fujitsu seems very proud of

For people seeking a good document scanner

This red letter warning stating that I have 1000 documents and I have to remove the less important documents

I use this last feature a lot to securely communicate sensitive documents

Blazing fast document scans that convert to high quality pdf's right out of the box

The machine does seem to prefer multiple documents to be the same size

I love that comes with a sheet protector that will protect documents that are older

Once scanned I was able to split the documents into one part per page with Acrobat reader

I'm still learning how to use the management software, but to just scan a document is a breeze without reading any instructions

With my old unit, I dreaded duplex documents, which involved scanning one side of the page for the whole document, then reversing the whole document and scanning again, and then interweaving the page

On the plus side, it is easy to unjam the paper, whereas with my Canon all-in-one, you can destroy precious documents if they are stuck in the feed

The S1500 is slightly faster at scanning, and the software seems to be a little faster at processing the documents.

Scans incredibly fast on one side or two, remarkably clear, and covert documents to a readable format (OCR) and therefore searchable

Great if scanning documents over the 50 feeder capacity.

Easy to hook up and use though I am using it for household bills and documents; after two decades there're a lot vintage documents you don't want to lose or to jam up too much space.

I created files-built submenus-highlighted account numbers and am able to now find all my important documents EASILY

The original document must be clear.

The sheet feeder is finicky and crumples up your documents on failure.2.

I love it, easy to use, clear clean documents.

The scansnap is an excellent document scanner

Great for document storage without the clutter and the ability to manipulate documents.

I also love the PDF format as it gives me much more flexibility and peace of mind for my valuable documents.

It does a wonderful t job of just being simple and functional
