What Scan2PDF Professional 20 is

Scan2PDF Professional 20 is Windows software that turns documents, paper originals, photographs, and slides into PDF files. One-click page or stack scanning, duplex support, and automatic sorting assist with double-sided originals scanned manually. OCR text recognition creates searchable PDF/A files. The software can generate optimized PDF and PDF/A output, protect PDFs with passwords, and apply scalable compression. A searchable, filterable archive supports document storage, while integrated email functionality supports sending files. Scanner compatibility includes TWAIN flatbed, feed-in, combination, and duplex devices; listed WIA devices include cameras and smartphones. The interface supports Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian. The Professional plan with OCR costs €4,900, paid once, with no subscription. A free trial exists, but the maker describes it as non-functional. Scan2PDF is headquartered in Neufahrn, Germany, and says it has been on the market for 20 years and is now at version 20. The maker says data is managed locally, with online connections for licensing or updates.
