It can generate PDFs with selectable and searchable text! It can't preview in color but save in black & white.Īnd OCR. It has limited color correction capability (which is important for making black & white documents. The builtin scanner can rotate, but it can't preview the rotation. Previwing is crucial in order to determine what to crop or rotate, but scanning another time after the preview wastes a lot of time.

The builtin scanner in macOS allows either previewing, or scanning into a file, but it can't save the preview into a file. My main use case for VueScan is scanning lots of pages in a document while performing necessary cropping and rotation and color correction on each page, and possibly saving the end result in a multi-page PDF.

I've been using VueScan for years and it's great.
