Interesting idea. The main reason why I chose not to use PDF-output thought was due to the file size. If I instead went with a JPEG and then converted to PDF with PDFLab, I cut the file-size in half,while quality stayed the same.

If you do go a head and write you software, please let me know how it worked out.

I have a HP Laserjet 3030. It has a ADF and can scan something like 10-12 pages (single-sided that is) per minute.

The nicest feature is that when I put a document in the ADF, the HP Scan software pops up in OS X ready to “scan all” and save directly to a PDF.

I use QuickSilver instead of Yep, the Finder, Spotlight, to find my scanned documents.

I just use a simple naming convention for files. I create folders for logical groups like “taxes”, “school”, “bills” and folders therein.

Each document is named using YEAR-TAG-TAG-TAG-…-TAG.pdf (e.g. taxes/2005-federal-taxes.pdf).

No, this doesn’t address the OCR problem but I’m not saving tons of text at the moment, mostly financial documents, bills, etc. I usually type my course notes during class using my laptop anyway… heh.

Hmmm I did just AI and Computer Vision courses. Maybe I have a summer project: write software that does this entire process from the ground up. :-)
