Few scanners let you press a button and feed stuff straight into
PaperPort. This is because of the way that the scanner makers write
their software. They are all different which makes it hard for
ScanSoft to write software that can eat scans.

If the scanner software can scan to PDF, then you don't really need to
invoke PaperPort to do the scanning. Just press the button. Scan and
arrange for the scan to arrive in your PaperPort folders. then it will
be there when you open the software.

I bought the LIDE 35.

Thankyou both for your inputs. But the software varies. I cannot import
pdf into Paperport I can import .tiff which is supported by the Canon.. I
can also scan with the Canon from within Paperport. and will try printing to
Paperport with the copy buttton.
