Paperport is an all in one document management software that will help you manage different kinds of documents at one place.

If we go deep into technicalities, then we find that Paperport is a printer driver and not an application in its structure. However, this doesn’t mean that it would help you in connecting your PC to your printer and nothing else. With the help of Paperport Image Printer, you will be able to convert all your documents to the smaller and more secure PDF file format. This is not all, you can even go ahead and use this utility with your web browser or any of your Microsoft Office programs like Word and Excel with ease. In fact, if there is any application on your PC that can be used for printing or can be connected to the printer, you will be able to use it with this application.
Paperport Image Printer supports three kind of PDF files- normal, searchable or image files. There are small differences in the three and you can chose one that suits the kind of document that you are making. In the case of a normal PDF, the documents will be compressed and will only be fonts, texts or images that can be used in the read-only mode only. You can print these documents. PDF image files contain pictures while searchable files move a step ahead of normal files and give you a little more control of your document.
In case you have the Paperport Optical Character Recognition installed on your PC, you will be able to convert all the documents that you have scanned into PDF files which can come with text embedded in it. It can even be used for searching by your PC or any internet browser. The application works well on almost all Windows Platforms, right from Windows XP to Windows 8.
