Paperport alternative?
Lew/+Silat
Im looking for a freeware alternative to Paperport.
PaperPort simplifies things. It's the best tool available to make your
all-in-one device or scanner easier and more efficient to use. It enhances
Microsoft Windows with large clear thumbnails of over 150 document and photo
formats. Now you can easily print, organize and share all your documents.
PaperPort is perfect for your home or small office. Once you start using
PaperPort you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
Thank

alternative. It interfaces with you scanner and is a great environment
to work in. There is a free edition as well as a paid edition.

That's one I haven't seen before. Looks interesting. I downloaded it
and will play with it over the weekend. Thanks.

the pro - not freeware - because of some additional needs that I have.
For personal use, the freeware edition cannot be beat (IMHO).

Update: I didn't work with this for very long. I couldn't get a word
doc to open from within the program, either natively or in word. It
insisted on making a desktop shortcut, and deleting it causes the
program to reinstall on next launch. It is register-ware, and
requires a FREE key after 30 days. I got the key using a dodgeit.com
throwaway address (no problem) but on reinstall (because of deleting
the desktop icon) it put the program back in 30 day trial mode.
Uninstalled it before I ever played with scanning documents. It could
be "operator error," but for me it's too much trouble for something I
can do by pusing a button on my scanner, then storing the results in
subdirectories manually. Nice idea, but poor implementation.

I haven't experienced any of the issues you've outlined. I've got no
affiliation with the docsvault folks, but have been a user for years
now. I've even demonstrated it in some of my classes and have had no
complaints from anyone.
Sorry you've had a bad experience.

No problem. As I said, part of it may be "operator error." Just
because *I* couldn't get it to work like I THINK it should work
doesn't necessarily mean others wouldn't find it useful.
I have a pet peeve about desktop icons. I've only got eight of them
and four of those are strictly for my wife. I ran into a similar
problem recently when another program called a reinstall when the
desktop icon was deleted, and the author posted back that it was an
issue with the program he used to build the installer.
Some have aversions to registerware, so that's why I mentioned that
aspect of it.
Since the program says you can store other non-scanned documents in it
(specifically MS Office files) that problem was likely something I
overlooked, although I did try checking and unchecking what seemed to
be the relevant options. (For the record, I was able to copy files
there, just not launch them from within the program. I didn't try
browsing to the storage folder and OPENING the file from within MS
Word, for instance. I would at least expect the file to launch from
within docsvault in the same or similar way a file launches from
windows explorer, but I couldn't make it work.)
I didn't try a full reboot or spend a lot of time trying to
troubleshoot the issues because I figured I probably wasn't going to
use it much anyway. If I did a lot of document scanning or faxing
from home, I might have given the program a fairer evaluation.

Seems many require this and everyone has to have a different
one. 1.1.1.1 or 2.0.0.0 Very large downloads when on dialup
is there any that don't require other main programs that is good??
tnx

days. I wouldn't classify software written to use this environment as
"Crap" only because it requires an extra download. Many of the dot net
apps are excellent.

The interface is very dated looking as well.

> I am having issues with PaperPort as well. About a quarter of the time, I'll scan something in, and it won't appear in the folder I selected. I even click on the background where the other documents are listed. The others appeared there when I scanned, but sometimes, the scan just disappears. This is awful when it's a large scan.
