I have been a big fan of Paperport over the years, although
there is no lack of PDF tools now for
storing/viewing/combining/edting/searching PDF. Various file viewers
and browsers (such as XnView) also allow one to add comments about a
file for searching. Just to mention there is a open source equivalent
of Paperport called Maxview, and I use it. It is much less capable
than real Paperport, but it has some key features that make it handy
for me.
Key Features of MaxView
- Programmed in C and very fast
- Saves to the old .max format -- compact, and will view some of your old .max files from real Paperport
- Has the same desktop, combine/burst/delete thumbnails motif as Paperport
- Prints to ps, easy to convert to pdf
- Very fast scanner function, so works well as a copy/scan to desktop
- Only works on Linux, need qt (from KDE) libraries to work.
