Horland's Scan2PDF

If you are managing scanned images and want to make sure that they preserve their format for printing, then it is recommended that you convert them to a PDF format. Horland's Scan2PDF is a tool capable of handling scanned files before processing and provides you with a few handy options for managing your new documents immediately after.

While the UI is displayed in German, take note that you can change the language from the dedicated menu. Speaking of menus, you should keep in mind that you can check out the full functionality of the utility by accessing the Fullversion Testmode.

The idea behind the tool is to enable you to grab files directly from the scanner connected to your computer. In fact, you can alter the parameters of how data is processed – color, resolution DPI, input and output size or the blank pages tolerance, for instance – by accessing the scanner. Moreover, you can set a custom scan frame, if you only need to grab certain portions of the documents only.

Processing the files is as simple as it gets and you can save them all to a single PDF, separate documents, print, email, copy, arrange or save them as pictures from the context menu. A noteworthy feature of the tool is that it allows you to configure the next steps to be taken with the new documents.

Although it is not exactly automation, you can set the app to run the files via a dedicated application or have them printed via a device connected to the network. In case you need further processing, then you can access the Extras tab and specify if you prefer to enable the auto bright, auto deskew, remove the bumper edge or release the Twain resources altogether.

All things considered, Horland's Scan2PDF provides you with a convenient method of managing images and documents obtained from scanners before and after processing.
