Overview Scanner for Remote Desktop is a software that provides a convenient way to scan documents within a remote desktop session. It allows secure redirecting of image scanners over Microsoft RDP, Citrix ICA, Amazon NICE DCV, VMware Blast and Teradici PCoIP to individual remote desktop session without any headache. How it works The solution consists of the Workstation and Server parts. The Workstation part should be installed on the local side, like PC, thin client or tablet. The Server part goes to the remote side. As soon as both parts are installed, Scanner for Remote Desktop creates a virtual image scanner on the remote side and the operating system detects it as a hardware equipment. Virtual image scanner is actually connected to the locally plugged hardware scanner. So you can access your hardware scanner from any remotely hosted image scanning application. TWAIN, WIA and ISIS scanning Scanner for Remote Desktop can be used with any TWAIN-compliant software, like Adobe Acrobat Pro, Nuance PaperPort, QuickBooks and many others. Virtual TWAIN scanner allows to use all TWAIN 2 features, including support for check scanning. As for WIA, Scanner for Remote Desktop is the only solution allowing to perform document scanning for WIA-based applications (Windows to Windows configuration only). Moreover, there is a possibility to create virtual ISIS scanner if your software requires this. It will be mapped to your local TWAIN scanner (or SANE in case of Linux). Secure and separate access In case of multi-user environment (Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016), if there are more than one user logged in to the remote side, each image scanner is isolated within its individual session. So you don't need to worry that somebody else will get access to sensitive data. Each user can see only own scanners within the remote session. It’s not needed to scroll through the list of devices of other users to find your scanner. Scanner for Remote Desktop scans direc
