Saving PDF document takes forever after scanning with iX500

hi, i was experimenting what the best approach is for making Searchable PDFs (based on Dutch as primary language) with ScanSnap vs DevOn. I’ve made a profile in ScanSnap where I switched off the option ‘Make searchable PDFs’ in ScanSnap, see here:


I switched that setting on in DevOn. After I scan a file, and select the location where to store it in DevOn, it keeps hanging in Devon at the part ‘Saving PDF document’. See here:

When I click on the ‘x’ on the right side, the PDF files showes up, and I can search for ‘dutch’ terms and find matches within this document. Why does it not finish the process properly?

When I switch of the setting in DevOn to create Searchable PDFs, the PDF document is immediately there after scanning via ScanSnap.

Hope to hear from you, thx!

Do both ScanSnap and DEVONthink have Full Disk Access?
