Hi Cindy,
Ok, here is what I have been able to determine.
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

Hi all,
My wife asked me to see if anyone out there has any ideas for her.
She is working on scanning the meritbadge pamphlets and is also working on scanning the Anne Perry book "Tathea" that I have been interested in.
Her question is this:
When she scans FineReader is scanning 2 pages at once just fine. However, when it is ready for the next pages it is forcing her to save what she has scanned to that point in a file. Is there a way to get FineReader to scan all the pages of a book into one file instead of many files?
We are using Abby FineReader Sprint 5.0. I know this is a fairly old version of FineReader but we can't afford a new version at this time.
Thanks.
