This review is from: Searchable PDF scanner (WorldocScan 400) (Office Product)

the day after i ordered this i went to manufacturer website only to learn that this scanner only allows you to use it on ONE COMPUTER. if you want to install it on another computer you have to BUY a license. I wanted to use it when i travel with laptop but if installed on home desktop
i would NOT be able to use on laptop WITHOUT ANOTHER LICENSE.
no where here in the ad does it mention that fact. contacted copusa but they had shipped and i was told to just refuse the ups shipment when it came, which i did, so they are returning to shipper.
lets see how fast compusa gives refund
meanwhile i ordered pandigital scanner which works like a dream and which i can install on a billion computers if i choose.

I bought this recently in attempt to go mostly paperless and have just scanned well over 100 documents. It's simplicity and ease of use is exceptional. The software does a fair job of managing documents but could be more flexible.

Cons:
* Expect problems with full page documents with very narrow margins. Sometimes you need to scan the page backwards in order to favor the other margin.
* The document must absolutely be flat. The rollers are not strong enough to feed paper that is slightly crumpled or creased. It may feed the paper, but can possibly bother the scanning proccess giving you streaks or waves.


Pros:
* Multi-page scanning is simple
* PDF conversion is very nice and is fairly fast
* Scanning is fairly quick
* Comes with a nice case, use it to keep it free of dust!

Pending it's lifetime, I think this product is pretty decent for the price. It has definitely been nice to get rid of a majority of paper in my home office.

I wanted a simple scanner to work with Adobe Acrobat on my laptop computer. This unit fits into my "portable office case", and does a clean job of scanning documents for me. Most of my work involves scanning contracts, and at 400 dpi I get a very clean copy for my files.

I have experienced no difficulty with setup or use.
