It is at a clients house. Sorry I cant remember where it was....I think when you scan to a folder in the window where you select where to save there is an option.

You may need the bundles ABBY finereader installed.

I finally talked to the people at ScanSnap and they said that ABBY finereader wasn't included with the Mac Scanner ;0(

i think both tiffs and pdfs are good to scan, they share almost same level of image quality and searchablity. if you need to employ one or another , you can use some image converter to transfer them. I do this almost daily. I use an image converter driver found on the internet . Install it and it becomes a selectable converter option.Then you can convert tiffs to many forms in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat . Just open a tiff , select convert, and choice a form you want, the task of converting tiff to pdf and vice versa will be finished in several seconds. if you haven“t found a good choice , you can have a try. best wishes.

tiff file support lossless compression, and it does take up smaller space compared to pdf document. if you haven't make any decision,it is good for you to have a pdf conversion tool to quickly convert pdf to tiff file.
