Paperport replacement?
in [Scanners]
|
From: Jeff on 1 Dec 2007 18:54 I've gotten tired of trying to get Paperport 11 to work reliably with my HP all-in-one scanner and it's time to find something else. I like Paperport but the bugs and no free support/forums is just too much. The HP scanning software isn't reliable either and usually I have to reboot in order to get it to scan to a PDF reliably. Yeah, I am mostly going to scan documents to PDF as I am working toward paperless. What do other people use to scan/organize your PDF files? Requirements are an actively developed product(s) with support and hopefully a forum where user support helps too. Oh, and price of course is very important. :-) Thanks, Jeff

I don't know the product fully because first of all it's out of my price range, but how does that help to organize PDF files? I guess Windows Explorer could do that but I'm looking more toward the Paperport approach with thumbnails of the PDFs.

A little out of my needs though as it's web based and this will be just for me. I did download a trial of Adobe Acrobat and it does have an organizer so that might work well. The only negative is it's still out of my price range. I see people selling the professional version for < $150 so not too sure about those. I have taken a look at some other products under the $100 mark but nothing really jumps out as a great replacement for Paperport. Some work fine with PDF files but then it's the scanning capability that's lacking. I'm surprised that nobody else is going through this and found solutions to try and get paperless. |
