I need some help/advice from any tech/geeks out there. I am going paperless and scanning lots of paper documents into PDF files.
I have a Visioneer scanner. It sucks, but still. I use it with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (which also sucks, like all things hardware and software) to scan lots of documents into PDF. This is very slow. The worst thing is it invokes the PaperPort 8.0 Scan Manager, which is slow, and also, it pops up a damned scan manager screen every time it scans the next page. I can get nothing done on my PC when it’s scanning, it ties up the whole GD screen.
I want a better way to simply scan documents into PDF. Faster, and does it in background. And works with my stupid Visioneer scanner. I think I only need better software/driver. I was thinking of buying PaperPort 9.0 Deluxe. I don’t care about its ability to do document management but I want a simple, easy, fast way to use my scanner to create PDF files, in the background. Is that too much to ask?
Any advice or recos from geeks out there would be appreciated. Please don’t tell me to get a new scanner or mail the docs to Thailand to do it on the cheap. Don’t fight the hypo, people.
