Anyone serious about running a business on a Mac needs fScanX." "Fujitsu's great scanners coupled with Scott's excellent software, service, and support makes it a no-brainer. "We've used the ease of FileMaker, the flexibility of AppleScript, and the ever-growing features of fScanX to create what I consider the ultimate in business automation," said Ryan Thorpe, 24-Hour Record Retriever & Abstract, Inc. As more extensive Objective-C examples, the sources of the standalone scanning application and Automator action are also included.) (Simple FileMaker and AppleScript Studio examples are included. And it's just as easy to scan from AppleScript, shell scripts, Ruby, Python, and more. It takes only three lines of script code in FileMaker to scan a document, with similar setups available in 4D. fScanX also enables a host of alternative automation options. This opens up a host of possibilities for prepress operators, developers and graphic designers alike to build custom workflows involving scanning.Īdditionally, fScanX ships with a handy Automator action enabling very easy creation of scanning workflows without scripting. However, rather than requiring the application to launch in order to perform scanning, fScanX's command-line utility gives developers the ability to control the user interface completely. "In 2004, I distilled the essential scanning support into the standalone product fScanX."įScanX's simple-to-use scanning utility offers a natural, easy user interface and is aimed at scanning documents into files quickly with no fuss. "In 2002 there was no support available for integrating high-speed scanning into Macintosh applications, so I started developing my own drivers as part of an extensive electronic medical records system," said Scott Ribe, founder of Colorado based Elevated Software Development, Inc. It offers simple installation and ships with both a stand-alone scanning application as well as a command-line utility for use in scripting and developing automated solutions within any development environment, and an Automator action for scriptless automation.
