Hamrick Software is the ONLY resource I have found that supports our 12 year old Epson flatbed scanner. Even Epson can't do this.

Brilliant software - as a looooooong time scanner I was never happy with any of the (many) UI and actually threw out a good scanner b/c there was no update for a new OS at the time.

It's absurd that I couldn't use my Epson WF-3520 scanner when Mac OS updated, and Epson obviously has no interest in fixing the problem. Works perfectly with VueScan 9.

Vuescan Professional saved me from having to buy a new scanner when Mac Catalina no longer supported my current scanner. Much less expensive than buying a new scanner, easy to use and great quality.

What is the best scanner software to scan a document?
Almost all scanner software can scan a PDF document, but VueScan is the best because of the diverse amount of scanners it works with. You can use it on a 20 year old flatbed to the newest fast sheet feeder scanner.
Why doesn’t my PDF scanner work?
There are many reasons that your scanner software might not be working, but the most likely is because there is no scanner driver available for it on the operating system you’re using.
Our software, VueScan, solves this problem by independently reverse engineering the scanner drivers and creating a new version of them so that you can keep using the scanner you already have.
Every day thousands of people download VueScan to fix their old scanner
