Question: Is it compatible with Windows 8.1?
Document: Received with ScanSnap S1500.Goods:1. Relatively easy to use and organize without having to use windows file system. Good for the non-computer geek who just wants to get rid of the paper but have a things organized in binders and folders.Others:1. To attempt to minimize software piracy (I don't blame them) there is a relatively complex installation which failed in my case on several attempts. Support helped me get around this problem within a few days and were very helpful and responsive.
An update was recently released that seems to allow it to run very smoothly on Windows 8. However, the interface still looks dated.I think it's overpriced for what it does, unless you put a premium on reducing your frustration level. This program would probably be very useful to someone who finds computers and operating systems very mysterious and daunting.
Update to earlier negative comments (see below). ScanSnap hardware (setting aside software for a moment) is a classy machine. And if you stay away from Rack2Filer, and instead use ScanSnap Organizer, this device is a tremendous help to keeping records and losing the file cabinet and the time taken filing paper.The differences are:Positive: with ScanSnap Organizer the files are organized in a transparent, Windows-compatible, file and folder structure that you can use with or without ScanSnap Organizer.
You can't even assign 1 file cabinet for each letter of the alphabet, only 20 allowed. To make it worse, the software also does not sort the binders in alphabetical order!! The sort choices are 1) Arrange Manually 2) Sort by Last Access, that's it. Can you believe it?!? !It is really a shame.
This is an excellent graphical document organizer but beware that activation may fail for no reason and the 800 phone support is inadequate. After upgrading to Windows 7, I cannot re-authoirize the software on the same computer and noone can provide a solution.
So far, I am trying File Center which works with the Windows file folder structure and also just staying within Adobe Acrobat. was hoping to find something that worked both in my mac laptop as well as windows. still looking...
I can expect it to be difficult.2. The main problem with this program is the proprietary database. The file and folder naming structure in windows is not representative of what you called the files and folders in the program when you scanned them (unlike the default program that comes with the scanner).
Bought the ScanSnap S1500 with Rack2-Filer. Had to restore my Windows 7 the other day to a recent restore point, for other reasons. Now Rack2-Filer cannot open my small business receipts binder, which is pretty important to me. Tells me it "cannot operate this binder as it cannot be found". Product help is a run-around with no info and no useful chat or phone number.Incidentally, while we're on Fujitsu, I also recently bought and installed a Fujitsu security camera system.
I found the easy flip view of 2 pages on my 17" windows laptop the clearest and best navigatable view of any other of the pdf viewers.However Adobe Acrobat came close and this was the only feature I liked.I did not care for the binder system which is a proprietary database. It seems like you could corrupt it quite easily. I made a change to a folder in windows and when I went to the same associated binder in rack 2 filer, it wasn't able to open the folder at all.
I can certainly put more than 21 Paper Binders in my metal filing cabinet in my office! Usually virtual space is a lot bigger than real physical space. But Not here...I would love a way to use the "PFU-Easy Flip software" which creates virtual Binders. But I can't use it with the space limitations of Rack2-Filer. I have looked everywhere on the internet today for an Easy Flip solution I could apply to standard windows folders, but no luck.
Answer: Sorry that I can't help you.  I am very happy with my Scan Snap S1500 and the new software that I downloaded when I changed my PC from XP to Windows 7.  I gave up on Rack 2 Filer within a few months of purchasing it.  The quality of the charaters in the displayed text was very bad.  I tried to find some technical support on the Internet but couldn't find anything.  I guess that Fujitsu knew that they had a bad product and decided to hide.  I suggest that you give up on it and just use the SnapScan.
