Well, I don't think that is going to work for me. What I actually plan to do is get a copy machine/scanner combination with a sheet feeder that can email scanned documents. A salesman will come in with a contract or a project manager with an invoice for purchased materials and stick it in the sheet feeder and press go. The scan will then be sent directly to the server. The server will somehow read the document, find a person's name or account number and then attach it to their record in the database.
The thing is, that if it gets too complicated for the sales guy, they aren't going to do it. That's why we want to use a copy machine...

Adobe Acrobat does this quite well, in my opinion.
