ScanSoft PaperPort Professional 10

ScanSoft PaperPort Professional 10

1 stars (Simply not usable from a scanning perspective.) - As one reader suggested: revert back to v8! I bought a Brother MFC that inlcuded PaperPort 8, because I wanted to utilise the ADF to get my documents onto disks, rather than floating around in the office. The software was a charm. Just put the documents into the ADF of the MFC, press Scan to file, and off it goes. I can't recall for what reason I upgraded to v9, but this was the end of being able to use the "Scan to File" function. I bought a new PC running XP. Installed v9, and had the same problem: no "Scan to file" functionality. I installed XP SP2 and the frustration kicked in. Now the software did not even work. ScanSoft advised on their web site that v10 would be required to run on XP SP2. I bought it, and guess what: scanning would not work properly. 1. "Scan to file" still does not work! 2. Scanning multiple documents does not work at all, no matter which way it is being intitiated, or whether PaperPort of SmartScan is being used. v9 and v10 are not worth the money, let alone the time wasted Google-ing around to find answers to the problem, with ScanSoft simply not carying at all. Their suggested fix of enabling Data Execution Prevention (except for PaperPort) did not make a difference!! Buy something else! I will see how how I go with v8. But v10 will be uninstalled! Buyer beware! There is much harsher critique out there... and I agree: ScanSoft does not deserve my business! 2 stars (Back to Paperport 9) - I'm a huge fan of Paperport 9; I use it extensively. I was excited to see an upgrade and recently installed PaperPort 10. While the split screen and other features are a nice improvement, the software seems very buggy. The biggest problem for me is that I can no longer scan multiple page items using an HP OfficeJet scanner. I spoke with their technical support about this issue and was informed that "PaperPort 10 is not as good as PaperPort 9 at scanning and stuff." These were the exact...
