Paperless is a digital documents manager. Remember when everyone talked about how we would soon be a paperless society? Now it seems like we use paper more than ever. Let's face it - we need and we use paper. But Paperless 2 is one of those incredibly useful applications that will help you manage all your paper and digital documents and at the same time positively affect the environment.

When it's tax time no more bringing a shoebox full of receipts to your accountant. According to ruling Rev. Proc. 97-22 from the IRS, a digital document is acceptable. With Paperless 2 you
What's New
Version 2.1.2:

Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved an issue where field autocompletion would override attempts by the user to correct matched autocomplete text.
  • Changed autocomplete to strict case- and accent-sensitivity, to address user feedback. In order to for autocomplete to match entered text, the entered text must now match in capitalization and character accent.
  • Resolved an issue where dragging any more than two files to Paperless from Finder concurrently resulted in only two library items importing to Paperless.
  • Resolved an issue where OCR results were intermittently not posted to the OCR Text window.
  • Resolved an issue where instructing Paperless to undo after deleting a library file resulted in an exception.
  • Resolved an issue where pasting text into a tag field that already contained tags resulted in an exception.
  • Set the resolution for the default ScanSnap Manager profile to Best, to improve OCR results.
  • Removed the option "Dragging files from Finder into Library window deletes originals after importing" from Paperless preferences under 10.7.
Added Features:
  • Increased the size of the pulldown menu (the list of autocomplete values) that are displayed for a text field to display ten matches.

Does not function with ScanSnap s1500m and crashes also with Lion 10.7.2

As of Jan 8, 2012, this application is still highly unstable in OS X Lion 10.7.2. I'm using a ScanSnap scanner and regardless of what scanning resolution I use, the software still fails to capture the information in clear, clean and crisp receipts from vendors whose previous receipts have been entered a dozen times before. Despite the bugs Mariner claims have been fixed in this latest version (2.1.2) they still exist and it's irritating when the software continually overwrites the Merchant, Category and other fields with the wrong information after I enter the correct information. Even after turning off autocomplete and all the other "assistive" features, the software still tries to autocomplete what I enter with incorrect information and every attempt to change it is met with another autocomplete error until the application is quit and restarted. I thought Paperless v. 1 was excellent. It will be great if Mariner ever gets Paperless 2 (or 3) to work in Lion as Paperless 1 did in previous versions of OS X.

Multi-page scanning is basically broken on version 2 under Lion. You can use Apple's own Image Capture driver for multi-page, but it doesn't support image compression so you finish up with massive scan files. Otherwise there's no option but to scan one page at a time. Very boring.

This used to work fine in version 1, and it's real annoying that my comments about this on their user forum are consistently ignored. It's a bit odd to use, but stable enough. Just useless for me.

No problems here at all with Paperless on Lion - totally rock solid in my experience, certainly with version 2.1.1. The features in my view are great and there has never been anything that I've wanted to do with the product that it hasn't done. My main library holds 440 document in it so far and it is super-fast to retrieve any of them. Overall this is a great product and I can only suggest that you try it out if you want to go "Paperless"!

seen a Paperless promo on MAS so gave it a try (looking for a Yep replacement as, to all evidence, despite bringing it on MAS it actually is abandonware)

but... MAS version still is 2.0.3! :-0
so searched the net for a demo, found it and I confirm it is pretty unusable in Lion: very frequent, and "random" crashes!!!

only way to contact the developer is a form on their website, requiring you to register to... just ask a question :-/

you know what? I'll stay with Yep untill it breaks, then I'll see ;-)

oh... btw... very poor interface and features!

For me, 2.1 is just as unstable as 2.0. I cannot use it without it crashing and their tech support is almost non existent. This used to be a great program. However, I was using this daily until 10.7. Since I upgraded to Lion, I have not been able to use Paperless at all. This seems to be the only program that I have had any problems with since upgrading to Lion. To think that I actually paid for this lousy upgrade!

Useful application. I would humbly suggest one detail: PDF files should be viewed in Preview, not in the internal viewer of Paperless. The reason is simple: any serious reader annotates his/her paragraphs he/she considers important or interesting, this can be easily done in Preview, not within Paperless. Even without this detail, why should not use the internal applications of Mac OS, rather than add a feature, which is below the level offered by Apple?
I shall consider buying it, my e-library is already impressive, and I need a good app to organize it.

Praised Paperless 2.0 to high heaven under Snow Leopard but the constant crashes running under Lion has forced me back to using iDocument.

I am surprised that a developer with such a great reputation would put up with all the problems.

I had a hard time commenting about Paperless 2.0 because Mariner was kind enough to not charge me for my upgrade. That is the kind of developers Mariner is. That is also what makes this so disappointing.

Please resolve the problems, this app has such great potential.

They released v2.1 on Aug 1st, 2011, taking care of many of the problems. I am happy that i am able to add, edit and backup without the crashing now.

For some reason, a day later and Macupdate has yet to update the version on their site. Go to Mariner Software and download v2.1 and be happy like I am.

Yes, it still had problems but it is much better than before. It had become unusable for me because it crashed so frequently. At least now I am able to use it ;)

Many applications behave improperly during the first weeks / months of a new OS. Lion is too young to judge Paperless behavior in Lion. If it behaves OK in Tiger, Leo and SL, then all praise to its creators.

I'm just testing 2.0.4 with a view to taking advantage of the half-price offer today, and I've stumbled across a very poor feature: the "Edit Document" implementation is abysmal. First, the PDF I imported is displayed inaccurately in this mode - the header and footer info are segregated from the main body of the document with the use of a different background colour, making it hard to tell that they are, in fact, part of the document; secondly, the crop function is unintuitive in function - you can't cancel a current crop selection by pressing the Escape key (as is generally accepted elsewhere in the OS), only by selecting a different function such as rotate; thirdly, the crop is confirmed by double-clicking the selection and not by pressing the Enter key (as is common elsewhere in the OS), which is highly unintuitive (I'd go so far as to say counter-intuitive); fourthly, the resultant cropped PDF is pixelated and no longer vector-based in nature; fifthly, the zoom functions - Zoom In pixelates the PDF and Actual Size doesn't show actual size.
Also, users should be aware that the application is _not_ friendly if you use more than one currency, something they admit in the Support pages.
Very disappointing, but given this is just a brief evaluation, I've made this a comment not a review. However, I personally will not be investing $25 at this stage (much less the full price) until this application is far more mature.

The new version seems nice and stable. Just upgraded from a flatbed Canon scanner using TWAIN drives that worked well [just slow] to a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. Unfortunately this doesn't work. It's a wireless scanner [I could USB directly to the scanner, but that would defeat the purpose]. To operate the scanner I now have to load ImageCapture and a Paperless library, then point ImageCapture at Paperless. It works, but it's clunky. And not at all convenient come tax time when you are finishing off one financial year and starting another one.

As others have reported here, ran the upgrade to Paperless 1.3 Ok two days ago. But can no longer access any of my data. The "improved" spotlight indexing goes into Rebuilding mode and just stays there. Seems to be no way to get rid of it or proceed to use Paperless. Mariner guys, please fix this Asap.

Paperless isn't working for me on my G5 iMac. It finds my registration info from Receiptwallet then freezes. Hope others have better luck while I get Mariner to fix the problem.

How long did you wait before giving up? Paperless took a long time to launch immediately after I updated from ReceiptWallet, but now it works fine.

Yes, you are correct. I found out after I rebooted the app the second time and walked out of the room. It would be nice if there was some dialogue box indicating that the app was importing or moving or whatever. Unfortunately, the new developer for the app hasn't bothered to give upgrade notes or suggestions for old RW users.

Let's face it - we need and we use paper. But Paperless 2 is one of those incredibly useful applications that will help you manage all your paper and digital documents and at the same time positively affect the environment.

When it's tax time no more bringing a shoebox full of receipts to your accountant. According to ruling Rev. Proc. 97-22 from the IRS, a digital document is acceptable. With Paperless 2 you can create a Smart Collection and keep all your documents neat and tidy and in one place. Additionally, once you store your receipts in Paperless 2, you can select the receipts to email, print, or export to PDF, or even show as a chart.

Paperless 2 has the ability to keep up and maintain the task of not only reducing your need for paper but managing the paper you use. Simply scan your receipts, bills, statements, warranty cards, business cards - any paper document and the OCR function of Paperless 2 recognizes the data and adds it to the Details Window. The built-in search functionality even lets you find and organize receipts and documents into Smart Collections. Already have your documents as PDFs or other file formats? No problem. Simply drag and drop them into Paperless 2. By taking your paper receipts, product manuals and other documents and creating an electronic record you've already reduced your need for paper.

Now, doesn't that feel good?
