Yes, Acrobat 9 Standard.I got the PC hardware which comes with Adobe 9.
I assumed you were using it on a Mac. It comes with Acrobat 8, but the Pro version.

Just to check back I received my scansnap and it's freakin AMAZING. I'm currently scanning a 700 page kinesiology book to test it out. This little unit is very fast, it scans 50 pages both sides in less than a minute. Converting it to searchable text is longer, but that can just be set and left alone.
I'm going to upload them to my ipad and try them on Goodreader, and I'll also convert them to epub with calibre and see how that looks as well. I'm so excited, I can scan all my textbooks and have them with me on the road.
Damn, that's expensive. Over $50 to get a 500 page book scanned into ePub format.

How do you get the pages into the machine? Did you have to take it to someone to unbind it professionally?

I know this post has been up for a while, but I was just wondering about the quality of the ePub.
Did Calibre do a nice job converting to ePub?
And, were you able to use it in iBooks?
For a thick-page textbook (your ePub in iBooks), is there any delay when you're flipping over the pages?
Assessing on the date of this post, so I assume you got your S1500M back in May 2010? Do you happen to know if the current (2011) S1500M is any different than the older version?

I highly recommend it. It is very fast and does both sides at the same time. Also, it is very small and only takes up a small corner of my desk! Someone on a review somewhere said it is the size of a loaf of bread and I would agree. I hope you enjoy it! I love mine!
IT'S A DUPLEX SCANNER?!?
AWESOME!!!
There's your answer OP.
I have about 30 textbooks already cut and ready to rock, which I'd like to be able to save and view on my iPad 1. I don't really care how it happens. I have a Fujitsu Snapscan 1500, Adobe Acrobat and ABBYY. The books are up to 1,300 pages, with the current file sizes up to about 1.5 GB. If someone can guide me how to scan and OCR the books so that they won't make massive files that crash my iPad I would be willing to pay a reasonable consulting fee. Right now any file over 100MB will crash the iPad using Goodreader or iAnnotate. Also textbooks with a lot of pictures will crash it too? Anyone up to the task? PM me.

A fairly good resource on how to do it yourself. Acrobat professional has good OCR. The Pro version isn't cheap. If you can do without searchable text, compositing your scans can be done in the Preview app built in to OSX.
