According to my knowledgeable, experienced sources FineReader leaves all these programs in the dust, especially if you're into making docs into PDFs.

Need some info on how to get your docs scanned in the first place? Visit Document Scanners to get the low-down on the high-end of scanning perfection. If you have lots of docs (like maybe a lawyer) you'll want a good scanner that can compress on the fly because you'll be wanting to keep the original image file as your copy of record. But you'll also want all those images converted to text for indexing, searching, C-n-P, etc.

So dump that old fax machine and move into the less paper office.
