In order to scan, Foxit Reader requires an industry-standard TWAIN or WIA scanning driver. I encourage you to read the entire EULA of these products to be certain that you are in license compliance.

The combination of the two products will allow you to create searchable PDFs (aka PDF Searchable Image files) with your scanner, utilizing free software. However, the free Foxit Reader cannot do OCR, so you'll want to keep the free PDF-XChange Editor for its OCR capability, and add Foxit Reader for its scanning capability.
