I don't think Abbyy FineReader is built in to ScanSnap Manager the way it is with later ScanSnaps.

In the ScanSnap manager, deselect the "Quick Menu" option, and create a new profile (myProfile or something). Under Application select "Scan to Searchable PDF" Under File Option, deselect "Convert to Searchable PDF" Set your other options as you would like, and select "Apply" In your Mac spotlight search, enter "FinerReader", then select the "FineReader for ScanSnap Preferences" application icon in the result set On the general tab of the preferences panel, deselect "Open file after recognition" Then select the "Delete scanned images after recognition" on the same tab Close the preferences panel. Now when you scan (using the profile you created earlier), the document will be sent off to FineReader for OCR which will allow the ScanSnap to continue scanning. The documents will queue as they are scanned and be processed in order by FineReader. Hope this helps, Cheers! There is a solution to this problem that works well for me…

How do I know if it did a good job? Also, can I get rid of the old PDFs (the ones without the "processed by..." on the end)? I would like to have all of thesse PDFS OCRd before I put them into Devonthink pro office so that if I ever decide to use a different app, spotlight will still be able to search them.Thanks I have run about 100 documents through finereader but I am not sure what I should be looking for.The PDFs look the same except for the file name addition "processed by…"

I think if I were you I'd try the ABBYY instructions in the linked article since you have it installed automatically with ScanSnap already (or should) and then you don't need to mess around with AppleScript etc. Maybe what you can do is try say 5 PDFs using the methods in the linked article, and then try say 5 PDFs using Acrobat with these instructions<a href="http://www.documentsnap.com/use-acrobat-batch-processing-to-ocr-your-pdfs-easily/" target="_blank">http://www.documentsnap.com/use-acrobat-batch-pro...</a> and see which way gives you smaller files and better quality?

Are you wanting to drag things to Acrobat or FineReader because OCRing every document takes too long so you want to do it all in one shot after scanning?
