![]() I tested the latter just now in V7 and confirmed that Spotlight finds the document by searching for some of its content.Īlthough I haven’t done a comprehensive analysis, my takeaway is that all my key workflows still work, and all the features I remember seeing in ScanSnap Manager still appear to be there. I’m not sure what the Searchable PDF Converter is, but it must not be the essential Convert to Searchable PDF feature that still has a checkbox in V7. (*1) Cloud linkage functions: Scan to Dropbox, Scan to Evernote (Document), Scan to Evernote (Note), Scan to Google Drive, Scan to Salesforce Chatter, Scan to SugarSync (They will be available in a later update.) On the download page, Fujitsu added a comment about a few features in the 6.x (32-bit) versions that are not yet in the V7 (64-bit) version:Ĭloud linkage (*1), ScanSnap Page Merger, or Searchable PDF Converter, which are available with ScanSnap Manager V6.3 or earlier, are not available with ScanSnap Manager V7.0L20 for Mac. ScanSnap Manager Dock pop-up menu in Mojave (left) and Catalina (right) The pretty icons in the Dock pop-up menu for profile selection that were present in the 32-bit app are gone, so now you have a plainer look.Scan to Photos worked instantly, as expected, as did Scan to Email and Scan to Print.Why it forgot the destination folders and remembered only two of the eight profiles I defined is a mystery. I set the folder and changed the application to None (Scan to File), and it’s back to working as expected. ScanSnap Manager V7 remembered only two of my profiles, and reset their destination folders back to Pictures.And it’s almost indistinguishable from its previous 32-bit incarnation. Still in a state of shock, I went to the ScanSnap Manager V7 download page and fetched a copy for my S1300 to see if it really did work under Catalina in the same way it did in prior macOS versions.Īmazingly, it does work. A Stunning AnnouncementĪ few weeks back, TidBITS reader Stephen Miller shared the shocking observation that Fujitsu had updated ScanSnap Manager to V7, with the company saying “We’ll soon be making ScanSnap Manager available for the new iX1500, as well as for earlier models.”Ī quick check of the specifications in Fujitsu’s announcement showed that ScanSnap Manager V7 works in macOS 10.12.4 Sierra and later, including Catalina, and the “earlier models” include the S1500, S1500M, and the S1300 that I’ve been using for many years. Neither was perfect, but they got the job done. To keep those scanners off the trash heap, we evaluated and reported on some third-party solutions that will keep them running under Catalina, including VueScan (see “ VueScan: Not the ScanSnap Replacement You’re Looking For,” 2 December 2019) and ExactScan (see “ ExactScan Might Be the ScanSnap Replacement You Need,” ). Many of you have been following our coverage of Fujitsu’s decision to effectively drop support for some of its older but still popular ScanSnap scanners by not updating the ScanSnap Manager software to 64-bit so it could run in macOS 10.15 Catalina.
