    Cute but stupid

    By Glenn  May 4, 2005 | 7 out of 7 found this HP ScanJet 5590 Digital Flatbed Scanner review helpful

    Pros: Multi-page scanning, and the interface software, is a hassle

    Cons: Clear scans

    Basically, scanning multiple pages with the ADF (automatic document feeder) just doesn't work. When scanning from inside Adobe Acrobat, it only pulls the first of multiple pages, and when scanning from the HP Director software, it refuses to scan... to text, scanning to something like a tiff file and naming it .pdf for Adobe to view. As a flatbed scanner, it works fine. Single pages are good. But trying to scan in multi-page documents just doesn't seem to be possible. Also, while they released a patch for the software, apparently to fix some sort of error popping up, there is still no real fix for the actual problem itself. As far as it goes, I have yet to actually see them acknowledge that there even is a problem. Read more Less

    ADF is Useless in Adobe Acrobat

    By noneof  Nov 28, 2005 | 5 out of 5 found this HP ScanJet 5590 Digital Flatbed Scanner review helpful

    Pros: Nice feature set

    Cons: Terrible software (drivers, etc)

    The ADF will not work with Adobe Acrobat. Look in tech forums for other people complaining about this. No fix so far. The included software is huge, slow and stupid. HP should have spent more time on the TWAIN drivers because that's what matters.... Even the WIA drivers. Something that works with software other than HP's lame stuff. Read more Less
