    Folder monitoring software to OCR a PDF?

    Im looking into finding some software that can monitor a folder and OCR a pdf that is scanned into that folder. We get the paperport cd's with some of our machines but i personally havent had any expiereince with it and it just kind of looks cheesy to me. Any one have luck with any other software out there that can do this? Or does anyone use paperport alot and has more expierience with it?

          This can be done with OmniPage I believe via a workflow. Don't ask me how to do it though, as I've never tried it before. It would be advisable to put it on a server, as it will only slow down a normal client computer.

          OmniPage is made by the same company as PaperPort and eCopy PaperWorks.

            Take a look at Artsyl SimpleCapture 2.5
            They have two versions:
            A "lite" version that runs on one PC for one user or a network server version for a large number of users.

            It's very easy operate, and is a self-learning program. As you click through OCR'ed documents to gather specific pieces of metadata, the program registers your choices and will begin to prompt you with the next click. As accuracy improves you can put it on full automatic.

            Just a warning: don't go cheap on the server. You'll need some heavy duty processing power to move these documents along.

            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
