print this articleMaking PDFs without breaking a sweat
A recent thread on an editor-to-editor email listserv I subscribe to focused on the ability to use a scanner (or copier) to automatically make PDFs of printed materials. We have a big, expensive copier/scanner that does a great job, even on large jobs because of the automatic feeder. I’m sure it cost several thousand dollars, though, so the question is: what’s available that’s relatively cheap and wouldn’t require a capital spending request?
Here are some suggestions from the group’s email:
Fujitsu S500. Comment: “we’re paying a bit extra because of the multi-page feed ‘cause scanning page by page was getting a bit tedious. I think we found it for slightly more than $400 after IT found some discounts.”
Epson Perfection 1200U. Comment: “Don’t know its model year or price tag, but couldn’t have been too much. Works fast and gets the job done.”
Anyone using anything else that’s worth a look?
