1.1 Outline 1.1 Outline ScanSnap Organizer is an application used for displaying and organizing image files (PDF or JPEG files), which were scanned using the ScanSnap. You can use this application to display image data (PDF or JPEG files) without opening them, create folders and arrange files as you like.
Moreover, conversion to searchable PDF files can be executed while the computer (CPU) is idle, so that other operations will not be disturbed. In the ScanSnap Organizer Viewer, files can be shown and edited (pages can be rotated, deleted, moved, inserted, deskewed, cropped, and merged, and keywords can be added to a file).
