An excellent program for scanning, I use it for scanning documents and love the way it converts documents into editable text, not images like so many other scanners seem to do. I lost my original copy due to a computer crash and was so happy to see it here. Thank you sharewareonsale and the programmer for this giveaway.

Really helpful indeed.
When dealing a considerable amount of work in scanning different types of documents, the need to save them in certain files types on your computer always arises. Depending on the type of scanner you are using, a utility software can come in handy. In this case, I was using ScanPapyrus. I decided to give it a try based on its promising features and ability to scan books, journals, magazines, and other paper documents then saving them in Microsoft Word, PDF, TIFF, or DjVu formats. This is what I found out about the software.
First Impression
After installing and running ScanPapyrus, I noted its striking resemblance to MS Word 2007 based on its main window interface. The options on the interface are well outlined and easy to understand what each one performs. As such, the arrangement allows for a clean arrangement that is also inviting to use. Further, you will only need few minutes to well-versed with this software’s features.
Pros
Impressive Compatibility
I have access to three different types of flatbed scanners. As I had already installed ScanPapyrus on my laptop, I was impressed by how the program was compatible with the three of them without having to install additional drivers or add ons. Further, the list of scanners that are compatible with the software is quite impressive ranging from Canon, Epson, Samsung, Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, to Mustek.
Handy Auto Scan Feature
Some of the documents that I needed to scan were books and journals. While doing so, I was able to take full advantage of the Auto-Scan feature on ScanPapyrus. The way this feature works is that I allowed time to flip over the pages then the scan would take place automatically. At the same time, I was in control in terms of setting the waiting intervals between each automatic scanning.
Quality Scanned Files
Right from the get go, you will notice the impressive quality of the resulting scanned files. This was a plus given the possible mistakes you can do during scanning. For instance, ScanPapyrus ensures it straightens the images as well as removes black areas that usually result because of the scanner’s lid not be fully closed.
Cons
Not Useful in All Cases
When it comes to the value that this software adds, different users will have varying responses. That is based on the fact that some scanners and printers already come with software packages that allow one to save scanned documents in PDF file type. For some users, the extra features that ScanPapyrus has out of the box still gives it the edge.
Verdict
Using ScanPapyrus and enjoying its value depends on what you already have and what you need. If you only want save your scanned documents in PDF and have a scanner or printer that can do that, this software may not be very handy. However, ScanPapyrus’s fast scanning, smart scanning algorithm, automatic scanning, and high quality adjustment features would surely draw you in. It is a worthy program.
ScanPapyrus is a software that enables you to scan documents from your scanner and save them in different formats such as .PDF, .DOCX, .JPEG, .PNG, and .TIFF.

Pros
Saves high quality documents
One impressive thing about ScanPapyrus is that it allows you to retouch your scanned documents to adjust its quality. Using the photo editing tools is easy and you can save the resulting document in any format, from .doc to .jpg.
Add images to a file
ScanPapyrus allows you to add images to a scanned file from your computer. Easily select an image and add it at the beginning, middle, or at the end of the file depending on your liking. You can also edit the image to fit the document, flip it, or improve its quality before using it. Additionally, it has a preview feature that will enable previewing of the image files before and when you are adding them to the scanned file.
Even after adding the image, you can still save the document as a .docx, .pdf, .png. .tiff, and .bmp.
Automatic scanning
The software performs automatic scanning by commanding the scanner to scan a document after a fixed time interval. If you are dealing with a book that has many pages, this gives you time to turn the pages as well as save you the hassle of pressing the scan button manually every time.
Photo editor
ScanPapyrus doesn’t have the best photo editor in the market, but this software has its fair share of brilliance in improving the quality of a document. You can adjust the background, remove dust, eliminate stripes, and crop the image. You can also get rid of the gray that makes your photo look blurred.

My HP printer/scanner/fax came with software allowing me to save a scanned page as a pdf, so I’m unsure what advantage ScanPapyrus provides — anything obvious that I’m overlooking?
When identifying issues with a software, it is useful for you the author and discoverer of the issues (even a minor one) to identify the winOS or macOS your are using when testing the product. For those of us who oppose MSFT’s plan to have complete control over personal use of windows through some errant cloud design, we don’t have and won’t use win10.
What winOS are you using?
I urge everyone not to buy into cloud subscription software.
With a subscription in the cloud, unlike a subscription to Wired magazine(for example) where you can still read every issue you have after your subscription expires, when the cloud subscription is over you have nothing. Ergo, the company selling you an external (Internet based) subscription is tendering nothing for your hard earned money. Resist.
Coders: The world needs a new winOS replacement greatly. The Internet would be safer with a dozen popular OS’s…
Post win10: A basic exploitable flaw exists in all winOS’s products in the allocating services script. It is unpatchable. Ergo, win10 will not be the last windows OS. A new winOS is absolutely necessary. Beware; Microsoft is not your friend.
