Total Document Management with ScanSnap Home Software - Easily Optimize and Organize Searchable Data 

I agree 100% .....

when you scanned a dcument, can you save it as searchable PDF? or regular PDF?

How can I add documents to ScanSnap home without scanning? I have some downloaded pdf receipts I would like to add and have added to appropriate folders within scan snap but they are not visible from home.

I agree with @jamescarroll6954. Where can I find, for example, a simple explanation on backing up my scans? I recently purchased the ix1600 which is greatly different (software) than my previous ix500. So, back to backing up scans. It appears there is more than one way to do this - I'm looking for the easiest way, or let's say the "automatic" way to do this.

Is there a single document that provides a “how-to?” With all due respect, videos like this one tell “what” the product will do-they are extended commercials. Is there no demand for a “how?” It is frustrating to buy something based on “what you can do” and run into the problem of sparse information about “how to make it do what we promised” and tge frustration of trying to gather information from multiple sources.

More than missleading! E. g. at 0:28 min. it says that the scanner would auto-name the file. The video is quite clear about it. Just: This function doesn't exist. I couldn't find it and ScanSnap Support has confirmed that such a function doesn't exist!

I still using ScanSnap Manager as ScanSnap Home lack 1 thing: you cannot re-scan a page in ScanSnap Viewer. You have to re-scan the page to a different file then move it to the original. I am digitizing my library by cutting books to loose page for scanning. Dust sometimes create a long white stripe over the image and I need to rescan it. With ScanSnap Manager, I can rescan during proof reading and replace the defect pages directly. But with ScanSnap Home, I cannot. A new file is create and you have to open it, drag and drop, delete the new file. A 10 second action turns into a few minute action. So bye bye ScanSnap Home.

It really sucks that you require users to create a ScanSnap Cloud account to fully license the features of the scanner, as it appears (per your privacy policy) that any uploads to cloud services such as DropBox pass through your cloud service where you have access to it, not to mention you openly share our personal information with "affiliates". Furthermore, know that the privacy policy for the account states they may also disclose your information to ANY third parties for a variety of reasons including 'safety of the general public' and for 'other measures against improper acts' based solely on their discretion. Why can't I just buy a f**king scanner and use it? Why do all these companies insist on quietly trampling on our rights and privacy in order to use all the functions of products we paid full price for? Seriously, charge $5 more for your hardware and then f**k off! Here is a link to the policy if anyone wants to read it in full: www.pfu.ricoh.com/imaging/agreement/privacy/privacyFCPAen.html
