Software Reviews of PaperPort V12.0

Customer Review: Not acceptable for networked home-office use.
Summary: 2 Stars

I've used Paperport for years. It has always been a bear to set up, get working with your scanner, and work out the kinks, but when it worked, it was a nice application to turn paper into electronic documents and to manipulate the resulting PDFs. However, as computing needs have changed, I find that Paperport has not kept up. One thing that is not made clear in the advertising is that Paperport does not support working with external drives, NAS servers, snap drives, etc. Basically, you are meant to only use it to work with documents on your computer's internal hard drive.

That is not realistic for most business use, especially if you want to use it to manage your documents. If you want to work with documents on a networked drive, you'll need to copy files over to your local drive, work on them in Paperport and then copy them back over to the network file share.

What's worse is that it doesn't even play well with offline files. These are network files that you sync to your local hard drive. Even these will hang the system, despite the fact that they reside on your local drive. While I've gotten Paperport to occasionally work with network and offline files, more often than not, it will choke on them. There is no warning when you add a network location with Paperport's file manager. If a network folder hangs Paperport and you have Paperport set to open at the location it was at when it was closed, then you will not be able to use Paperport again unless you reinstall it because it will crash every time you open it.

Given that even many home users commonly use home NAS drives or large-capacity external drives to store and share documents and photos, I can't understand why the program isn't designed to support this use profile. I suggest that whether you are a home or business user, you check out the following knowledge article from Nuance's support site and decide whether it will meet your needs before you purchase the product.

Even more incredible, PaperPort 12 brings all these files together in one convenient place on your PC desktop.

Create and Fill Out Forms
Often times the documents you need to share must be accompanied by some sort of form, or in many cases, lots of forms. With PaperPort 12, you never have to fill out another form by hand. The FormTyper feature accurately converts scanned paper forms into neat, searchable electronic forms you can fill out on your computer. It even recognizes check boxes automatically.

Gather and Share Documents Quickly
Need to gather up a bunch of different documents for a school assignment, a tax consultation, an insurance claim, or another pressing matter? Maybe finding your files isn't a big problem because you're already organized. But collecting and sharing them with the right people can be a real chore. You could print what's on your computer and make copies, but faxing, mailing or lugging around folders stuffed with information is inefficient, costly, and insecure. Why take chances? Avoid the hassle by using your computer and the power of PDF documents to gather, assemble and quickly share information by email. PaperPort 12 lets you create PDF files from your digital documents and combine multiple scanned documents into a single file. Add, delete or rearrange the pages within any PDF file. Extract editable text from scanned documents and put it into a word processor or an email message. No more tedious retyping or overloading clipboards. Just drag, drop ... and voila!

Digital documents stored in PaperPort 12 are there to stay. No more lost receipts, misplaced records, or recycled assignments. Need something fast?
