Hi chale, there are some tips from BoilingConcrete and Michael F in the comments above that take you through changing the creator, but since you have a ScanSnap S510M, you might find it easier to just use Adobe Acrobat that came with it to do the OCR for you for those non-ScanSnap-scanned PDFs.

It is probably less headache than messing around with the PDF metadata.

I own a ScanSnap S510M with Abby FineReader. However I want to use fine reader to also convert a few pdfs that weren't created or scanned by the ScanSnap and am getting a message that it wont do it because it wasn't created by it. What is the easiest way for a mac user to change this to work. I have seen a few info file programs for the mac to look at the creator type but if I drop a pdf that has been created from the scanner, it doesn't give me any info as to what the creator type is or what I might need to change.
Thanks for your ideas

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