WellI have tried Vuescan, doe snot seem really good actrually from all that I heard about it. I do not need alot of features, something tht will allow me to make a multiple page pdf and do some cropping of pages within would be great. Cannon has scangear and that would not work unless I fired up vuescan for some reason. It was not a very good design and was clunky to use. Single page scans even when you chose multi page scans.
