Pros:

I use it for scanning everything that is relevant. Bills, letters, legal and fincancial I put things in folders that make sense. They are easy to move from one folder to the next You can print right to a program into This program and chosen file. When I need something, like a tax time... everything is already organized.

Cons:

Not much bad to say. After the set up, everything runs well.

Paperport does not live up to expectations

As a tax accountant, I manage alot of documents and I wanted a software program to help me scan, file, and save documents. It worked for a couple of months, but now it gets hung up most every time.

Pros:

PaperPort is designed to help you manage files, primarily documents. I like the image preview, the PDF file viewer, and the ability to customize your list of directories.

Cons:

I installed the program twice. The first time, PaperPort would not confirm the serial number, so I had to click a button each time the program started. I contacted technical support a few times, and realized that it was just an annoyance. I was also having a problem with non-responsiveness. PaperPort would get hung up after clicking on a third sub-directory. I reinstalled, and that resolved the serial number problem, but the program getting hung up is even worse. It gets stuck previewing the original directory and will not update. It's practically useless now.

One of those tools to keep around

Works seamlessly on any PC, great app integrations, PDF management is a breeze.

Functionality

Pros:

printing, signing, & scanning continues to be the bane of business efficiency. PaperPort makes that almost painless. One of those rare tools that always gets installed on my laptop -- favorite feature is probably the ease with which we can stack and unstack PDFs, delete pages, etc.

Cons:

better OCR is probably the only real issue, or perhaps command-line / API bulk mode for same the ability to alternatively make command-line call to extract and stack pages would also be great.

Reasons for choosing PaperPort

none of the other scanner tools had the ease of PDF page management.

A good tool for managing paper documents.

This program allows you to scan documents to your computer, separate or combine them, then export to your desktop.

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about Paperport is that when you scan documents to your computer, it allows you to stack them together, or separate them into separate files if you so choose.

Cons:

What I like least about this software is minimal in comparison to its benefits. However, sometimes there are a few annoyances. For instance when I am scanning a multi-page file there is a status bar that shows something like "Scanning Page 3 of 18" and as each new page scans the status bar updates and takes you to the paperport program. I'd like to hit "scan" and then do something else until the scan is finalized instead of having to watch it until finished.

Getting a little old in the tooth but still useful for scanned document management and organiztion

I have been using Paperport for over a decade to manage mainly scanned documents. It helps me organize and maintain a library of them. The ability to convert from it's internal format to searchable text is very useful and enhances the value of the Paperport for me. There are other products that provide similar functions but I stick with Paperport because the way is works is just darn intuitive in my opinion. Sometimes newer isn't always better.
