Not that I know of--and that's a problem I've been
having with Fine Reader Sprint 5. How does she get to
do two pages at once nd convert?
When I had an older ABBY OCR I could scan and convert
up to 12 pages at a time and save them as a single
document. I forget the setting for that. Sometimes he
OCR would freeze or crash and I'd have to do fewer
pages. Theoretically it could do 20 pages at once but
practically I was never able to do that.
When I got a new scanner, though, and even the old
scanner with a new OS (I use a Mac) I have the Fine
Reader Sprint 5. In some ways it's quicker than the
older OCR but I can only scan and save one page at a
time. Timewise, however, that seems quicker than then
I was saving 10 or 12 pages. I create a new folder and
save the pages in that folder. Then, when I'm
finished, I copy them one at a time onto a single
document.
NOW--this may be because I don't have the complete
Fine Reader. I noticed in the upper right-hand corner
that it says Upgrade Now. When I open that I'm told
that I'm working with a "version distributed with
scanners or multifinctional devices" and I should
download a trial version of Abby Fine Reader Pro for
the Mac. But after a two-week trial, I'd have to pay
for it. I went to the site--if you don't have a Mac
you could probably get a Fine Reader 8. I didn't look
long enough to find the one for the Mac, but the 8
upgrade is $180, and a new 8 is $400. I think when I
checked for myself last time an upgrade for me would
cost a couple of hundred, too, and for the little
scanning I do--just missing pages for people, though
once that ended up being a third of the book--I'd
rather not spend the money.
If you find a way to scan and save several pages at a
time, please let me know. smile
