Though the new versions work, you're still much better off scripting Fine Reader for any volume of scanning. I modified the script a little to reflect not needing to hack around incompatibilities, and now kick off my OCR jobs every night before going to sleep. It's sped up my scanning dramatically. My revision of the script is available here: http://gist.github.com/321839

Your link is broken because you have a ">" after the link that's being included. If you can edit or delete it that might be helpful.

For anybody that hasn't figured this out already that is landing on this article, you can download the updated SnowLeopard version of FineReader for ScanSnap at the bottom of Fujitsu's Snow Leopard Compatibility page. Link below.

I've been reading the fixes, but the pdftk script did not work for me. However, I ran across a very cool utility – "a-pdf". Select a whole folder of PDF files, type in the Creator and Producer to the ScanSoft settings, and off you go…PERFECT!
For those that don't want to fool with scripts, give this a try. They have a 15-day trial.

A nice side benefit to finding a fix for the bug…I am moving over from Paperport to the ScanSnap solution. I have 7 years of PDF scan files that are not in searchable PDF format (Paperport creates it's own proprietary index). Using this utility, I just reset all the metadata for these PDF files and ScanSnap Organizer is busy converting them all to searchable PDF files!

Fujitsu has announced an update for ScanSnap Manager for S1500M, S300M, S510M and S500M that will work with Snow Leopard. Check out the following website:

<http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peri...

At the bottom of that page, they state that ABBYY will be hosting the update to FineReader for ScanSnap, but the link isn't available yet. I imagine that it'll be posted somewhere soon…

Curious, does the updated version from ABBYY apply to the version that came with ScanSnap or is it a separate purchase? i.e. is it a free upgrade? Wondering if anyone has tried this. I have the ScanSnap s1500m, haven't upgraded our iMac to Snow Leopard, in part due to this.
