That sounds like something I could use. We have one scanner for the entire company and the bean counter has it set up so that he is the only one who can use it. I routinely have to do mattress inspections for the retailers I repair for and have to scan/submit a written report electronically. Makes it a pain if he is out when I am trying to bill and send my reports.

Walk me through the mechanics of using it. I remember when scanners etc... first came out Jerry had one that looked like a pregnant ruler that you slide across your document. It was very touchy---if your hand shook or your speed changed etc...it would act up.

You take a photo of the document it senses the borders of the paper and you can also adjust like cropping  then when you save it it square it up and saves as a pdf simple.

I down loaded it last night and played with it a little this morning. Free download,very easy to use---but I'm having issues with my scans being blurry. Probably my shaky hands. thanks for sharing this Mike.
