You can create, write, and open PDF files without file conversion or other applications. You can split multi-page PDF files into separate files or merge several PDF files into one. You can group your files, stack your files, or spread them out. You can define a folder as a document inbox for e-mail attachments so you can easily monitor all incoming documents.
This is the software that came with the Brother MFC-9970CDW for Mac for OCR. English recognition was okay, with some errors, once I got Preview to rotate the page and copy it back into this software. Spanish recognition was unusable. More errors than correct. No way to rotate a page. Ever try to scan a book sideways for OCR without a rotate feature? Website support badly organized and no user forums to help you along. Even the manual alluded to certain features I could not find, but they were features necessary to use a scanner.
Summary
Good document organizer, but if you need OCR, keep looking. This software is frustrating.
not convincing

Pros
broad feature set.
Cons
Trial version does not have OCR turned on. How can a prospective customer decide it works before shelling out? Not well thought thru.
Summary
Great potential, but doesn't work
sunnyhelmsman
Pros
Comprehensive program which could beuseful
Cons
Page Viewer does not work at all.
Absolutely no customer support.
Summary
Page viewer did not work on OEM version. Bought full version. Page Viewer still did not work. 2 emails to support were ignored.
Buy this program at your peril.
Utterly, totally, useless piece of garbage.

Pros
None whatsoever.
Cons
It wants to select a source - tells me I have an Epson (I have never had one). Tells me it cannot connect. No way to tell it I have a Brother DCP-7055. End of story. Totally useless software.
Summary
How can a 'software' company market software that is patently faulty? How could Brother even think of bundling it with a MF printer/scanner? Why have I had to waste an hour of my time?
Just avoid NewSoft or whatever these cowboys call themselves.
Average Scan software
Levon9
Pros
Nice interface
Intuitive
Works -most, but not all of the time
Cons
Cannot hold a candle to PaperPort
Cannot scan and crop on a preview scan- no preview mode
OCR Klugy compared to paperport, and not as accurate
Virtually no documentation
PDF stack and unstack is very useful
Slow to start scanner on my machine
Summary
Limited feature scanning software that should be tested in trial mode before buying. Does basic things fairly well. Needs a lot of work to have the functionality of PaperPort for windows.
Product is useless! - At best another file viewer!
solarchart
Pros
Nothing - It doesn't work!
Cons
I have anew IMAC computer, downloaded this product, and every time I try and scan or do anything, it says that I have no driver installed- except I do! There is absolutely no support on-line, and no customer support number
Summary
The product simply doesn't work, and if you have a technical problem , you just go round and round in circles on their website. I used to use Paperport on my PC, and that had a few problems, but at least it worked. Its galling when you spend the money on this product only for it to not work. I felt like I had been robbed!
no manual, no support; save your money
newbreed
Pros
looks nice
Cons
This promising program suggests similar features as Paperport has under Windows but it si far from intuitive, no manual provided or to find on the web, no support.
Summary
Skip this program and do not spend your money on it.
This is a amazing upgrade from the PageManager 8
jessicaofftemp0
Pros
the whole look and feel of the PageManager is more MAC than the previous versions.
Scan and recognition of documents is quicker
Easy to use
Cons
No cons from me.
Summary
The PageManager is one of my favorite software, I have been using this software since version 6 and this version is a big upgrade. Can't wait for the professional release.
Excellent document manager
teressasagahi5
Pros
Scan to PDF, merge and split PDF, supports almost all file types, convert files, can add notes to files.
Cons
This is only the SE version. Professional version will be release "soon".
Summary
Can't wait till the full or pro version of the PageManager 9. All the features are nice and the UI is designed to look and feel like the MAC OS.
