OCR scan multple pages into one WordPerfect document

[MarkB]

For small legal office we need to scan multiple page legal documents into
WordPerfect for editing. Was referred to Omnipage but calling their company
they recommended Paperport which you can use to manually combine the
individual pages they scan. They said that OmniPage has better OCR but
PaperPort can create the single file we need... this sounds strange...

Is there a program designed to work with a automatic document feeder and
will scan a single multiple page document into a single multiple page file
(WordPerfect document)?

Thanks.

Sounds strange to me too, I'm thinking one of you may not have understood
the other completely. Or perhaps you are referring to the free version of
OmniPage that comes with scanners (which has the name OmniPage), which is
indeed very limited, but the regular OmniPage Pro version (has Pro in the
name) should eat that up.

I have no problem scanning multiple pages into one file with OmniPage Pro,
that is simply what it does - other than OCR, that is pretty much its main
goal in life. I scan multipage into Word files or PDF. I dont use Word
Perfect, but it is supported and should not be different. I dont use a ADF,
so every manual scan asks me if to continue or quit... the ADF should just
keep going.

In fact, OmniPage Pro has an double sided option, you can scan the stack of
pages, then just turn the stack over and scan the other side, and there is
an option to tell OmniPage Pro to reorder these pages interleaved correctly
in the file. That sure sounds like multipage <g>

I have not used it with an ADF, but the OmniPage Pro help file does mention
that the ADF code is programmed to automatically begin a new file at a blank
page, meaning you put in blank pages where you want a new file to begin,
between documents.

I think there was some sort of misunderstanding.
