2.0 out of 5 stars
ADF not reliable, PDF conversion does not work, September 21, 2002
This review is from: Hewlett Packard ScanJet 7490c (Office Product)
I bought a 7490c scanner mainly because I needed to convert paper documents to PDF files.
Unfortunately, even if the scanner works quite well without using the ADF or preparing PDF documents, I could not succeed in doing what I needed.
The Automatic document feeder is not reliable for scanning A4 papers, since while taking the papers it often rotates them giving a rotated image as a result.
Moreover the Hp precision scan pro 3.0 software has a bug in producing black and white PDF files , and HP does not know how to fix it.
Therefore, if you need to have a large number of pages scanned , avoid this scanner and go for a fujitsu.
