-If have a fi-7160 or fi-7460 you’ll notice these come with a slew of software from Fujitsu, so which do we want to use? We have found that the consumer grade "Scansnap Manager Software" produced better results than the professional "ScandAllPro" software did. It’s also MUCH simpler to configure. There is one benefit to ScandAllPro though and it’s that it will accept documents that have a length longer than A3, whereas "Scansnap Manager" just gives up at that point and cuts it off. Scanning documents longer than A3 is a rare occurrence however, so we recommend using "Scansnap Manager" for everything else.+If have a fi-7160, fi-7180, fi-7460, or fi-7480 you’ll notice these come with a slew of software from Fujitsu, so which do we want to use?

 Next run the renameimages.ps1 script. Upon doing that you should have a lot of images starting with “img” in your folder, in the correct order. You can now delete the others starting with “image”. Next run the renameimages.ps1 script. Upon doing that you should have a lot of images starting with “img” in your folder, in the correct order.

-At this point you should have your images in the proper order and you can create PDF’s from them, or if you might want to do some editing to them in Photoshop before doing that (such as adjusting levels and descreening). Ultimately it’s up to you. You can use Adobe Acrobat to combine images into PDF, or many of the other options out there. If you have any to suggest please let us know!+At this point you should have your images in the proper order and you can create PDF’s from them, or if you might want to do some editing to them in Photoshop before doing that (such as adjusting levels and descreening). Ultimately it’s up to you. You can use Adobe Acrobat to combine images into PDF, another simple way is to use ImageMagick through the commandline:

 +<code> 
 +magick convert img*.jpg output.pdf
