PaperPort Testimonials

"PaperPort Professional 12 has become the most functional program I have and one of my two favorites. It is open all day and is the springboard for opening and editing everything now. This is by far the best version yet. I bragged about the program on Monday at my staff meeting and just gave it to two staff members. I truly recommend this program to everyone" - Edward J. Perrott,

"Thank you for the development of PaperPort version 12. Having used most versions of PaperPort over the years since receiving my first copy; ver. 2, as bundled software with the purchase of a scanner, PaperPort has become my most mission critical software for document management. "
- Bill Wray

"When I first got a hold of PaperPort 12 my first reaction was "how can you improve on version 11?" After using this new version 12 I can see how. The integrated ability to create searchable PDF files is worth the upgrade alone. The new stamps feature is also a big plus. For the home user it is great. For the business owner it is a must have piece of software."
