Hi,

I'm switching from the "dark side" to the "Light Side" and have a question that virtually no one up to this point has been able to answer. I use a Macbook Pro at home & Windows XP Pro at work, and in MS Office (Windows) 2003 there's an Office Tool that called Microsoft Document Imaging that I use every day. It's an essential tool allows me to scan documents, perform OCR on the scans, and create multiple page .tif files. This is invaluable in making digital copies of documents like time sheets, attendance forms, handwritten notes, articles, tax documents, etc. It's extremely useful and handy. Unfortunately, this tool is not part of Office 2004 for the Mac, and I'm not holding my breath that it will be included in Office 2008. Meantime, I've asked every Mac user I know, the folks at the local Apple store, and several self-described Mac "experts" what the Mac equivalent of Office Document Imaging is, and nobody has been able to answer the question. I'm thinking I might be able to use Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, but this is new ground for me. My alternative is to run Parallels, install Windows, and run Office 2003 that way ... and I'd 'druther not do that, because the point of switching to a Mac was to get away from Windoze. Can anyone out there steer me in the right direction?
