Likelihood to Recommend Kofax PaperPort is great for any office that has paper documents - seriously! We have set up multiple businesses to use Kofax PaperPort to cut down their storage of paper receipts, invoices, documents, etc by nearly 90%! Their office is much better organized and they have the ability to edit PDF Documents for a lot cheaper than buying Adobe
Acrobat .
Read full review For creating and maintaining a component library, it is a fantastic tool that creates an interface between Developers, UX Engineers and Designers. It is easy to get both general information about a component, but also incredibly detailed information when looking at the component on a pixel-level, where information on paddings, margins, colors, fonts etc. can be easily accessed.
Read full review Pros With Kofax PaperPort, documents can be merged, pages can be extracted from multiple documents and combined to make a new PDF document. It is an important feature as one needs to do it very often and more ubiquitous pdf readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader DC lacks functionalities like these. Kofax PaperPort scans the documents and using it's OCR, converts these scans to searchable PDF documents so that these documents can be searched based on the text content in them. Functionality to convert other formats to PDF and PDF to other formats. This is important as many times , we need to upload certain documents only in a specific format and conversion is required to and from PDF format. Read full review showcasing components and other topics ease of seeing detailed information on components (colors, paddings, sizes etc.) ease of finding information possibility of going to previous versions of the design guideline Read full review Cons It should have a back button, so if you go from one folder to the next, it would be simple to get back to the first folder. When you combine two PDFs, it should retain the title of the one that's on top. The send to bar should be easier to change. Read full review when opening a component image (which opens a new page where the detailed information like paddings and colors are shown), the zoom can only be done by buttons, I'd prefer to be able to use my mouse scroll and for vertical / horizontal scrolling to do ctrl+scroll or ctrl+shift+scroll or something like that Read full review Likelihood to Renew PaperPort has a few quirks, but it is the only program of its kind that actually does what it claims to do. The power of it is so much more than they claim especially when it comes to trying to achieve a truly paperless office. With PDF editing built-in, it also saves considerable investment in other PDF editing programs.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I was ecstatic to see someone moving PaperPort away from Nuance (Those in my circle of friends refer to them as Nuisance). The lack of customer involvement by Nuance made finding answers to things that sometimes irritate a user to being downright frustrating. Maybe the purchase of Nuance by Microsoft will allow the company to focus more on the customer.
Read full review I have used and still use
Sketch and
Zeplin too, but they serve other purposes for us.
Sketch is used to design the components themselves and they are then exported to Zeroheight where they are showcased and enriched with textual information.
Zeplin is used to design application pages, and again the components are exported to
Zeplin from
Sketch . But Zeroheight is mainly used for the development of the components themselves as well as a documentation for our design guideline in general. It is also used by us for design tokens and patterns, as well as other information on the design guideline, so if someone wants to understand the "why" of a design decision, the explanation can be usually found in Zeroheight too.
Read full review Return on Investment Less amount of money is spent for filing purpose as less number of people and space are required for filing purpose now. Information retrieval has become way faster as documents can be searched based on labels or on the basis of their content. Lot of options to improve the quality of the scanned image. Read full review increased quality, as less misunderstandings or communication problems occur increased speed of development, as it is a single source of truth for us. The developer can rely on the information in Zeroheight being correct so that he doesn't have to iterate his code again and again. Read full review ScreenShots
