The problems this app is built around, and what to settle before you bring it in.
- Back officeThe office problems that splitting a PDF quietly solvesTen suppliers' invoices scanned into one file, a report where only two pages should go out, a contract bundled with its attachments. Splitting is unglamorous, but it makes filing, sending and retrieval easier all at once.
- Back officeWhy filenames alone are a poor way to manage PDFsA folder full of scan001.pdf costs you time and mistakes. Here is why better filenames only get you part of the way, and how to use folders, PDF metadata, labels, the date you received a document, and full-text search together.
