    "Did what i wanted it to - but one page at a time"

    October 21, 2011  |   By nickdale100

    Pros

    It was pretty accurate, which was of more important to me than the 'cons'.

    Cons

    This 'Community version' won't handle more than the first page of a multi page pdf but still not bad for a freebie, it doesn't take long to chop up a pdf.
    Very simplistic.

    I've used the program. When you continue to scan, it just puts the conversion on the same file that I used on the previous scan. Did you, perhaps,not notice that it was adding everything to the last file? I've found this little program to be quick, efficient, and easy to learn to use.

    I think you just missed the functionality for your 'con'. In the upper left-hand corner of the window showing the page in the pdf are two arrows, one pointing right and the other pointing left. You can use those arrows to page through the doc. You DO have to convert one page at a time, but you can do all of the pages in a PDF file by paging through them with the arrow keys.
