So... our home office is growing and we are getting swamped by paper. Invoices, receipts, billing records, printed correspondence, etc. We are thinking of buying a high speed multi purpose printer/scanner/copier/fax machine, specifically the Dell 3335DN. One of its selling features is the ability to scan a stack of paper (via its paper feeder) into jpeg or pdf format at speeds up to 25 pages per minute. While scanning most of the paper in our office will eliminate the physical paper, how do we manage the documents once they are on a computer ? At the very least we need a way to search the generated documents by one or more keywords. Thus far, the best solution I have come up with is to put together a small database program using Open Office, like this: http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/openoffice-org-base-no-frills-document-management/ However, it would be really nice to take it a step further and tie a ToDo list and scheduler into the system and maybe even an accounting system. Ie, we scan a receipt into the system and then enter the accounting transaction for the receipt and tie the two together. Or create a ToDo item with a link to the image of the document that needs to be handled. Has anyone done anything like this ? How should we proceed ? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
