You do know that it is pretty much a dead end product right? There are a lot of rumors floating around that they are going to actually stop making the hardware and just go software only with support for Android/iOs/Mac/PC
I'm not sure I'd scan all my stuff TIFF. They are generally larger than PDF. Not sure why yours are coming out smaller than PDF, perhaps compressed TIFFs? I have scanned several books and sheet music to PDF. I think you can do it within something like Acrobat, but I've been using a sheetfeeder to scan the pages at 300 dpi, and then having Acrobat put them all together and straighten the pages, etc. I can also keyword tag them, OCR them, etc. Works great. I have about 20 books I've scanned and have a ton of stuff that was scanned that is public domain (flute/clarinet/oboe books). Maybe 600 megs in size. Maybe. It's hard to tell because I have eBooks in there, and some article scans......about 1600 things in iBooks. On my Xmas list is one of the Bluetooth pedals for iPad pageturning.......

I'm sure violinists would appreciate it also. > NOT Sent from my iSomething _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
