But this update only deals with documents created going forward. “This category update will not resolve PDF files previously created by ScanSnap nor the problems with ScanSnap Organizer,” the company wrote in in a blog post.
On October 17th, users with ScanSnap models S1500, S1500M, S1300, S1100 will be able to download a similar update. The same caveats apply, however.
At the end of October, ScanSnap Evernote Edition will be updated. Fujitsu hasn’t yet provided a specific date.
Fujitsu also said it was continuing to work on the problem affecting already-created PDFs, but it didn’t announce a time frame for fixing the issue.
Those with older ScanSnaps may want to update your software to the latest, even if it states unsupported. I love that they release the latest with drivers for the old scanners, I’m using my S510M from 2008 still (on macOS Sierra). I’ll be upgrading to the next model they release!!!
I guess I’ll just keep talking to my iPhone instead of my iMac…
