Microtek ScanWizard Pro
Apr 18 2008

TURNITAROUND  Microtek advertised a scanner years ago, i think it was a V1212 or something. It never worked with OSX 10.3. although it said so on the box. Tech support claimed an update was in the works. Months passed, no update! I tried to return it and was not able to because I exceeded the time allowed to return.

Never again will i spend my money on a Microtek product or recommend their products for the company i now work for that has over 5000 employees.

HP proved to be the best scanner for the job!

ORION MK. V  I agree 100%. Microtek pretty much abandoned mac support during a time when the promised updates and support. Now that they're back I could care less.

Epson, Canon and HP overall work very well... sometimes spotty with drivers/software, but they always seem to provide some support.

ROG  At any particular time you might be able to find a scanner that works for a Mac, but then when the next Mac update comes out the scanner wont work anymore... I have a pile of scanners here (Microtek, Canon, and Epson) that are all in good working order, except the software is no longer supported...sometimes months after I bought them. The only scanner that I have that consistently works is a Microtek scanner from over 10 years ago that's hooked up to an old beige Mac with SCSI.

Adobe Acrobat
Oct 23 2007

TURNITAROUND  I updated to 8.1.1 pro. It failed to launch after a restart of Acrobat Pro, and an error mentioned some missing files... I had run DeLocalizer a week prior to free up some space, 1.3 GB!

Acrobat needs the Chinese fonts that are removed using DeLocalizer.

I ran the Adobe updater utility found in the Utilities folder. It reinstalled those fonts.

Everything works fine now.

Hope this helps!
