Ben,
I think it is a Brother issue and not an Nuance issue. I have no idea why they use .tiff instead of pdf. It has been discussed in this forum before. As to why there is no way to convert to PDF on paperport 11, I still refuse to believe that is the case and I am hoping someone here will be able to help me. i will PM Peter and let everyone know how it goes in case someone else has this issue.
