Document Scanner || A CODECLOUDS Community Initiative

Nuance PaperPort offers all the great features that have made PaperPort the #1 desktop document management solution, plus you also get greater support for the PDF file format, more ways to scan documents, support for networked multi-function devices and computers, and a whole lot more. It's the first desktop product to combine the power of creating PDF files with the convenience of local or network scanning and the efficiency of document management, into a single, easy-to-use office productivity application. Ideal for individuals, workgroups and small enterprise organizations, PaperPort is the best way to work with scanned paper, PDF files and digital documents.

A Better Way to Scan Documents
PaperPort is designed to make your scanners, all-in-ones and multifunction devices easier to use and more productive. Auto-straighten, auto-crop, auto-rotate, and auto-enhance are just few of the improvements that happen at the push of a button. PaperPort uses unlimited Scanner Profiles with Scanner Enhancement Technology (SET) to achieve excellent results on most any kind of document. Newspaper articles, invoices, and color photographs - it doesn't matter.

• Support for Scanner Buttons - Many scanning devices such as All-in-Ones come with scanner buttons to scan directly to your computer. Unfortunately your scans often don't end up where or how you'd like them due to a lack of control. Now with PaperPort you can take control of your scanner buttons so you always get the results you expect and a much better way to manage your scanned documents.
• One Interface for All Your Scanners - Every scanning device comes with a unique interface or control panel for scanning documents. With all the different choices and options the task of scanning various types of documents can be overwhelming. PaperPort simplifies things with one easy to understand scanning interface that will work exactly the same for all your scanners.
• Get the Results You Expect - Automatically - There is nothing more disappointing than scanning a document and getting poor results. Trying to figure out how to get the best possible result can be even more frustrating. PaperPort does all this for you with our Scanner Enhancement Technology (SET) Tools that can automatically apply corrections to your documents or photos while you are scanning. Auto-straighten, auto-crop, auto-rotate, and auto-enhance are just few of the improvements that are available with PaperPort.
• Get Scanning Right in One Step - Different document types require different settings to get results you expect. Some documents contain color and some are simple black-and-white and almost all your documents can use some improvement along the way. Now you can encapsulate all your settings including color, format and SET corrections into Scanner Profiles so you get the correct results with the push of one button.
• Scan Efficient, Small Color PDF Files for Sharing - Scanning and sharing color PDF files can be a daunting task. Each page of a typically scanned color PDF file can be over a megabyte in size. If you are scanning several color pages or more, the size can be too large to send that file through email. PaperPort Professional now uses PDF-MRC High Compression Technology to turn a 15MB color file into less that 2MB!

A Fast, Affordable Way to Create & Assemble PDF Documents
