Is there such a thing as a scanner with an automatic document feeder and a duplexer, that will scan to a USB memory stick?
Other requirements, must be able to save as PDF (inc multipage PDF) or JPG.
Network connectivity would be nice, direct PC connection not required.

USB means the ultimate in simplicity and versatility. Print quickly - without using a PC - by connecting any PictBridge™ camera or phone directly to the printer. You can also connect USB memory to the printer and print instantly. Even when you don’t have access to a PC, you can save what you scanned directly to a USB memory.

no duplex though. – None – 2009-11-27T15:20:39.003
I should have also stated that I didn't really want the overhead of a MFP, as the printing functionality will never be used, however it's looking like a dedicated scanner that does what I want simply doesn't exist.
I'll probably just install a dedicated scanning station - i.e. scanner with an ADF, connected via USB to a networked PC with a custom replacement shell that allows users to scan direct to their home directory. – Bryan – 2009-11-30T13:28:24.690
Accepted as the best match to my spec. – Bryan – 2009-11-30T13:28:58.713

The Kodak ScanStation 100 will do what you want. You can scan directly to a USB drive without having the scanner attached to a pc. The ScanStation is a standalone networked device that has an embedded version of XP running on the device. You can scan to FTP, email, a network share or a USB drive directly attached to the scanner. It will save files as pdf, jpg or tiff. We have used this device for approximately 3 years. It is about $2500 USD for the basic device.

Unless i'm misreading your requirements, the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 or one of it's brethren might work. I have the S1500 and it does full color duplex scanning with ADF to wherever you want, with optional PDF, OCR, etc. It is small (about the size of a bread box), very fast, currently about $420 street price for just the scanner or $440 for the Deluxe Bundle. The Deluxe Bundle comes with Acrobat 9 Standard, CardMinder business card software, and Rack2-Filer V5.0, so it's well-worth the extra $20.

the Fujitsu requires a windows pc, and cannot scan to a usb memory stick without pc. – wimh – 2011-04-29T07:37:22.710

Man, I wish this question wasn't closed.. This problem has been plaguing me for a while. – Evan Carroll – 2012-08-28T21:20:51.310
What exchange can this question be asked on? – wberry – 2012-10-14T18:12:57.627
@wberry I believe shopping questions are off topic on all the SE sites now, but FWIW I never did find an exact match for my requirements. – Bryan – 2012-10-14T23:23:45.327
