PDFPen & Eaglefiler as archive (great AppleScript support, too)

This is my workflow:

I use an HP 1415vfx multi-purpose printer/scanner and use it to scan big sheets 
to my dropbox. Smaller sheets are scanned with 'Scanner Pro' and synched to 
Dropbox as well.

Then I run an AppleScript, which opens the files in PDFpen and does OCR over 
the page. After that it imports the files to EagleFiler and auto-tags the 
documents depending on their (now recognized) content (e.g. PayPal, invoice, 
telephone, gas, etc...).

Since Eaglefiler leaves the documents alone and adds meta-tags to it's own 
database, I can sync the files to my iPad without problems (or auto-link the 
files to Filemaker, Bento or a simple AJAX table).

After lots of experiments, this workflow is the most flexible (albeit not 
perfect, but ok).

Cheers

andy
