The answer, for me, is that it depends on what kind of document I’m scanning and what I’m going to do with it. If I’m going use Acrobat’s tools I takes fewer clicks to get it done. See my question and the great responses I got;
I set up a number of profiles in scansnap manager. When I scan simple, modern documents on quality paper I scan directly to DTPO. These documents don’t need help from Acrobat. When I scan compromised documents; old, typewritten, faxes, copies of faxes, damaged, … I have ScanSnap scan to folder I just simply call “Acrobat Scans”’ I set for Acrobat to open the document automatically. In Acrobat, I scroll through the document and rotate the upside down pages, delete blank pages (with thin original documents, the image will bleed through and ScanSnap will treat as the back of two sided document, these pages need to be deleted). Then I optimize, then reduce file size. During reduce file size, Acrobate asks for a file name, so naming the file becomes a no click step. It’s at this point I move the file into DTPO.
It’s not a particular advantage, but this process leaves an original scan in my “Acrobat Scans” folder. At the end of the day, I move a day’s of scans into dated sub folder. I could delete these files as I process them, but I’ve long had the habit of putting things in dated folder for future deletion a habit developed before macs had “trash” from which files could be recovered.
So in the end, speed and ease, depends on what your trying to accomplish.
