I had the scanitto pro version from giveawayoftheday that was registered. I fuked up and upgraded to the new version. How do I get my old version back. As I do not have the cash right now to get the new version. Trying to get send amessage and get a reply from you people really sucks.
I bought ScanitinPro a couple of months ago, so I could scan into multi-page pdfs for posting on my college course websites. However, I am finding the program virtually unusable because the resulting pdfs are such huge files--even for documents of only 3-4 pages. I have tried scanning into different formats and greatly increasing the compression, but nothing makes any difference in the file size. Please help, or I will need to write off the program as a complete lemon (for my needs at least). Thanks.
Susan N, could you please post settings you set for Scanitto Pro such as resolution, jpeg compression rate, color mode etc. and file size for the resulting image. For example when I scanned US Letter 100 DPI color image with 75 JPEG compression rate I got PDF file with size 43.4 kb. I think it is quite small.
Thanks for trying to help. I have been using the default resolution (300), B&W or gray, and the default size (Custom--perhaps I should be choosing Letter; I am usually scanning article pages that are smaller than letter size). I have tried the default jpeg compression rate of 75 and then tried again with about 32 compression rate, but the change made absolutely no difference in file size. Last evening I was trying to do a 3-page PDF and the size was well over 4,000 kb (I deleted the files for my several retries, so I don't know the exact size:4000-something). Sometimes I have tried to scan articles that are 12-20 pp long, but the size was incredibly gigantic. I really want this program to work for me, so I am grateful for any instruction you can give me that will solve the size problem.
Susan, try to decrease resolution down to 100 dpi it is important for file size. If the main purpose of PDF files is displaying and not printing, the best resolutions for scanning are from 72 to 150 DPI.
Masters ITS, I will try what you suggest, but actually I need pdfs that can be printed and read as hard copies. Will a 100 dpi pdf be legible if my students print it? If not, is there any way with Scantito I can create a pdf in a manageable size that is legible when printing?
100 DPI PDF will be ligible but somewhere is not nice looking. In the coming release we will try to add new PDF compression features. Susan, Thank you for your comments about this issue!
I am using an Epson Perfection V500 flatbed scanner. It has several buttons on the front of the scanner. Normally, I can press a "Scan" buttton on the scanner, and the scanner will scan.
Since the scanner is quite far from my compuer, it is quite time-coonsuming to go to the scanner, put in a page, go back to the computer to press the scan buttoon on the screen, then go back to the scanner for the next page, etc.
Is there a setting in the Pro program which would allow me to simply stay beside the scanner and press the button each time that I change the page?
I am trying this out. I want to scan parts of an old B&w yearbook. I preview a whole page and then I select just one part of the page. The resulting image is not only too dark, but adds part of the whole page and not just the image I selected.
