Software to help me go paperless on a Mac

Software to help me go paperless on a Mac I purchased an Epson GT-S50 scanner (similar to Fujitsu Scansnap, but with TWAIN drivers). I am already using Evernote. I am not sure I want to flood my Evernote notes and code snippets with tons of receipts, business cards, and other paper clutter.

"PDFScanner for the Mac is $15 US, and works on Snow Leopard and Lion. It doesn't try to be a document management solution like Yep or pretty much anything else I've seen.

It does one thing: scans to PDF files with OCR'd text in a transparent layer. And it does it very well.

It also lets you open existing PDF's and OCR them; edit: I was wrong about needing to OCR each page individually; you can now select all and OCR the lot in one pass."

Evernote and the ScanSnap are the way to go paperless. Scanning receipts, bills, etc is a breeze with the ScanSnap and Evernote does synchronization across multiple machines as well as OCR, best combo... no question. To get the idea, take a look at http://paperlessmac.com/2010/01/evernote-ocr-and-availability-everywhere-on-the-mac/ or the article in the Wall Street Journal today which I couldn't include a link to in this post due to the spam prevention.

I did not like the available software - so I wrote my own. Check http://www.pdfscannerapp.com if you like.
