A worthwhile upgrade
Easy to produce PDF files. Seems to handle large numbers of items in one folder better than previous version(s). I find it, like pevious versions, great for keeping track of rebate submittals.
Replaces earlier version so you can't use both during a transition period. It does require some "getting used to" after having used an earlier version for so long. Minimal paper manual.
Posted Sep 27, 2007 - I've used PaperPort for many years. I got the first version along with a scanner bought many years ago. I had updated through purchasing newer scanners with later versions of PaperPort included and purchased PaperPort 9 several years ago. In spite of negative reviews elsewhere but knowing that those with complaints are much more apt to review software I purchased version 11. I figured it was time to check out PaperPort 11 for myself. The installation went fine on XP Pro and the program came up fine with a familiar but a bit more colorful PaperPort desktop. However none of my previous items were in the folders that appeared as default. Browsing, I was able to find my previous folders buried in the Program Files under ScanSoft, PaperPort (ScanSoft is the previous name for what is now called Nuance) and I added them to the folders selectable from the desktop. The folders had to be re-indexed since the search is different and quite a bit faster. I had to refer to the HELP that worked very well to find out how to only index the folders that I wanted. (Right Click that folder.) It seems that the new version attempts to find images files over the entire hard drive(s) and indexing them all would take a long, long time in my case as things are automatically converted to text for indexing and with my many years accumulation of files there are a lot of files to deal with. Supposedly this new version is faster but my sense is that it's about the same speed. Maybe my expectations were too high. Searching though does seem MUCH faster. I saved the same item in one of my folders to a jpeg file and to a pdf file and they were almost exactly the same size file and looked the same when I viewed them by clicking on them on the desktop. So far I'm pleased with the program and suggest that you consider an upgrade if you're using an older version as I was with PaperPort 9.
