Robert Applebaum 476 Crystal St. New Orleans, LA 70124 noapple@earthlink.net 504-376-9144 April 23, 2020 Dear Sir or Madam: I used Evernote, a great file organizer, with Fujita’s ScanSnap S1300 happily and efficiently for several years until I upgraded from Mac High Sierra to Mac Catalina recently. I had an inkling that that scanner would no longer work with Evernote. Fujita said that their ScanSnap1300i was reportedly supported in Mac OS Catalina 10.15. It sold for $386 and I bought if from Amazon. I installed Fujita’s ScanSnap Home 1.7.0(8) with ScanSnap update 3.0.22. When I scan a two page document or a one page document (with data front and back), it goes into ScanSnap Home as a single document, that is no page difference. It does not go into Evernote, The document can be dragged into Evernote by dropping it on the Evernote icon. However you cannot unlink or rotate the document in Evernote. Obviously, you cannot do a merge because all scanned information is already linked, even the blank or worthless pages. This is not acceptable as there is no ability to merge or trash individual pages. I then read about an app called VueScan 9 x 64 (9.7.26) from hamrick.com. They suggested that I could use my HP Office Jet Pro 8610 printer/scanner (and faxer) to scan documents into my computer and into Evernote. So I bought VueScan for $45.Then I found out that I had to upgrade from the standard edition to the professional edition for another $50. I upgraded to 9 x 64 (9.7.27) but the upgrade did not persist, but I doubt that would have made a difference. I scanned two pages from my HP printer using VueScan and it did scan into Evernote, but if it scanned sideways into Evernote and there was no ability to rotate the page or to delete an individual page, again unacceptable. You can scan individual pages from the HP scanner, but this is a real pain and you have to put in one sheet at a time. You can then merge or delete in Evernote, but the pages are still sideways unless you put them correctly oriented in the scanner. They are not rotatable in Evernote and could be in 180 degrees different directions. I did subsequently find a way in VueScan to rotate the pages but feeding pages in one at a time is unacceptable. Also when you scan a page in VueScan it opens up in full screen - if you click the red close button you have then to reopen Evernote. However, you can click the yellow minimize button and Evernote will reopen. Evernote has said that it will work with the Fujitsu iX1500 scanner. I am now considering buying this scanner for $400. Before I do that, I would like some reassurance from Evernote and/or Fujita that I will be able to scan with the ease and intricacy that used to exist with ScanSnap 1300 before the Catalina upgrade. This is when you could directly scan into Evernote multiple pages and you could then rotate, delete, merge and file pages with ease. I realize this is a lengthy letter, but I wanted you to know the details. Responses would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Robert Applebaum
