I like Irfanview for most of my scanning, I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, and I use Omnipage Pro 15 for my OCR. For PDF creation I use PDF Create! I found the German site many years ago, they are the manufacturer for the Mustek brand scanners. The web site in the USA is not well maintained. The thing that I was very happy to see on the German site, was the English pages and the English drivers. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
