Quote:
About half the originals are stapled in booklet form, and I have to remove the staples and cut the booklets in half with scissors

The Scansnap comes with a transparent folder to avoid this, although I imagine that any transparent folder, or sheet, the size of your documents would do.
The Scansnap will cope with four thicknesses of paper in the folder, by which method you can make each two page spread a single scan and end up with a correlated document - at the same time being able to re-constitute the original booklet with staples.
