I wish operating systems had native document scanning support.
I bought a scanner years ago in an attempt to manage paper load: scan to PDF, electronically file, and shred the original. It’s a great feeling to find an important document electronically, instead of sorting through reams of paper (and then having to scan it).
I just want simple “scan to PDF” — why are the tools so bad? The software supplied with my scanner stopped working one day (on Windows — it just went to permanent hourglass). I gave up trying to fix it, and turned to the world of $20 scan-to-PDF applications, most of which are pretty crappy.
Am I missing some easy solution?
I remember the days when sound cards were add-ons: driver hell, version conflicts, limited app support, etc. Apple and Microsoft: please provide bundled, well-designed, and well-integrated document scanning!
