1) Lease a good copier/scanner that handles large scanning capacity and can scan
to PDF.
2) Get a good batch OCR program that will take an image-based PDF and create a
PDF text overlay (so the PDF can be full-text indexed).
3) Buy a good document management program, preferably one that can do drag-n-drop
document sorting/indexing.
You can get all 3 from Ricoh, they have a very good copier/scanner with a
proprietary but easy-to-use document management system (based on FreeBSD) that
is completely web based and completely integrates with the copier/scanner. A
good product for a SMB.

Subject: Document Scanning and Storage
I'd like to start scanning our boxed up documents. I'd say about 30,000 files total.
Mostly to eliminate the boxes of paper we have.
I'd like to scan them, store them, Have some sort of index, and be able to retrieve them on multiple machines. I think PDF would be the desired format.
I'd like be able to set some permissions as well. (not a deal breaker…)
I've searched Sourceforge, and have seen knowledgetree, myDMS, contineo, etc, but really would like to hear from someone that is using something similar.
Of course, I use Centos, so…..
Thanks,
Dennis
