'Scan To PDF' - turn off the 'Reading from device' focus grabber?

Is there any way to turn off the very annoying aspect of 'Scan To PDF' that will grab the focus of my computer for EVERY page it scans?

I can't get anything else done when scanning large docs because that dialog pops ups EVERY scanned page.

Thanks.

Dave - that dialog is shown by the driver installed by your scanner manufacturer. Your mileage will vary depending on the scanner/driver. The only thing I can think of is to udpdate the driver hoping that the manufacturer has fixed the issue.

Thanks for that reply, I'll investigate through the scanner driver.

Brother MFC-8460N, if anyone cares.

I don't think it is broken, just thinks it's the only thing that matters in the world. Hmmm, let's call it the Paris Hilton Effect.
