Hey Greg, the Mac software should be on the ScanSnap Manager DVD. Just pop it into your Mac and you should be good to go.

I got a PC set up and working like a champ! love it. I want to use same unit to scan to my Snow Lepord Mac. Do I get a software download? or what?

Thanks for the report Chris! Yes, it is much better than the old days when the scanners weren't cross-platform.

Just a note to say that I had purchased the Fujitsu S1500M (for mac) about 18 months ago. It worked wonderfully with my Mac. I recently switched back to using a PC with Windows 7 and was delighted to see that I could use the same scanner with my PC. I found the original software installation disk because the scanner was not immediately recognized by Windows7. I inserted the disk, installed the software, and the scanner works just as well on my PC as it did on my Mac. I am very happy today!

Don’t waste your time and money on acrobat if you have a Mac. All macs already come equipped with a PDF viewer and editor. There is no rack 2 filer mac version. All you need is the mac version of the Fujitsu scansnap software. Just make folders and subfolders on your mac to keep things organized. That’s what I do. Make sure you back up daily to multiple places! Email me at maxmin at aol. Dot com if I’d like some help

I just bought a snapscan S1500 PC version – whoops! and I just figured out there's a mac version.
So from the above posts I understand the general idea – I missed out on the bundled sofware, otherwise it works great. What I need to know is: Assuming 1 buy adobe acrobat for mac and ??Rack 2 filer? evernote? – what program will replace the missing bundled software and allow me to do all I want to do which is get REALLY organized, go paperless, be able to edit large volumes of scanned pdf for business, etc. Any suggestions?

Can somebody please clarify that S1500 (the black PC version) comes with the Mac version of Abbyy FineReader (embedded in ScanSnap SW) and can make searchable PDF. Perhaps export to Word and Excel?

Thank you!

Got call at Fujitsu, and a toll-free number, I was well satisfied, I will pass the site to download the necessary software, but for the incredible site said the attendance for PRIMEPOWER servers, PRIMEQUEST, mainframes, peripherals and related software, finally, I sorry what I said Fujitsu.

And the scanner to use is very good, albeit limited.

Thanks BrooksD ..

Alan.

The worst is that they do not support the scanner in Brazil only to other things, for PRIMEPOWER servers, PRIMEQUEST, mainframes, peripherals and related software, (in Brazil the fujitsu seems like a joke), I bought because I had no S1500M S1500 , was needed urgently for my work.

Now I do not know, I'm limited with the scanner.

What would you give to?

Thanks.
