Still the Best!

Though I already owned a PDF editor that costs six times as much as PDFScanner, I was initially attracted to the app because (as far a I can tell) its the only one on the market that can quickly and efficiently transform the two-page book scans that result when a book is placed face down on a scanner or photocopier into separate single page scans. While this may seem like a quirky requirement, it makes reading scanned books and articles considerably easier on my iPad and (at least for me) easily justified the reasonable price. Ive regularly used it to do new scans with my Canon 900F Mark II and have been consistently impressed by the speed and efficiency of the program. The interface is nicely designed and makes book scanning simple and the automatic deskewing feature does a great job of keeping the scans properly oriented. PDF Scanner makes my Canon behave like a dedicated book scanner at a fraction of the cost.

The more I used it, the clearer it became that there was no reason to use any other PDF app. It outshines my more expensive PDF app when it comes to performing OCR: it does a better job and is much more reliable. It’s also much more stable and easily processes large pdfs (i.e., over 200 pages) that routinely crash other apps. There’s simply no reason to pay more: this is the best.

Finally, the developer has been very responsive and quick to answer questions and offer help.
