Absolutely amazing PDF scanner and maker. I've used it to make clear e-books of all of my manuals and whatnot and it's never been easier with its drag and drop, offering to download needed files to open or edit other PDFs made elsewhere, and overall ease of use. Awesome!

Way much better than trying to get HP Scanning software to work

I went looking for this as it appears a Windows update broke Canon's CaptureOnTouch Pro v4 included software. This was the first Google match for free scanning software and within a few minutes, I had downloaded, installed, and configured it. First impressions are very positive as it just works and is more intuitive than Capture OnTouch. The only observations I have so far are: it would be nice to have a "No OCR" option on a profile; I would like to be able to have a system tray icon for it. Otherwise very impressed and saved the day for me!

While Windows Fax and Scan (which I think has not been updated in 15 years) does a rudimentary job, after gnashing my teeth with WFS for some time trying to scan a lengthy document on my ancient Canon multifunctional, I stumbled across NAPS2. Installed easily, configuration was simple, and it very quickly scanned my lengthy document into one, reasonably compact PDF. Recommended.

Outstanding software. I have a new M3 Mac and an old but still functional Canon multifunction device scanner. This software works!!! When I couldn't get the Canon or Apple scanning software to work. The program is easy to use and has some advanced features should I need them in the future. I had a few questions which the community answered the same day. Outstanding. Highly recommended.
