When you do let us know what SW you found useful. I just got ScanSoft's
PaperPort that supposedly allows the creation of an increasingly
'paperless' environment. But I didn't get around to trying it yet.
Basically a scanning and archiving package.

I had to reply when I saw the mention of Paperport Pro. I have Version
9 which is supposed to be better than Version 10. This product is slow
and full of bugs. For instance you can't have more than 200 pdfs in a
directory or it will crash. It often crashes anyhow for no reason. Its
been years since I've had and app which requires constant Ctrl Alt
Delete / End Task.


Not good. Maybe then I shouldn't use it. OTOH crashes are daily life with Acrobat alone. It freezes about a dozen times a day and 1-2 of those are hard freezes requiring at least a CTRL-ALT-DEL. I had that happen with pretty much any version I used and on numerous PCs. Also freezes a lot upon save.

That is one reason why I am not using the pdf format for my own documentation. But with data sheets we have no choice, we have to accept it the same way we must accept Windows with all its bugs.
