This article provides links to 14.5, as well as other useful information on upgrading.Īrticle Update on 1: Last year, Kofax acquired the Document Imaging Division of Nuance, which included PaperPort. The earlier point releases of PP14 - 14.0, 14.1, 14.2 (there was not a public release for either 14.3 or 14.4) - are known to have bugs that were fixed in 14.5. In addition, a user of one version is not going to be concerned about the other two versions, so I decided to create three separate articles for I decided that adding PP14 to the previous article would result in a long, unwieldy article. Now the latest version is PP14 (yes, Nuance was superstitious and skipped 13), and its latest 'point' release is 14.5. At the time of that article's publication, PP11 and PP12 were the two latest versions. When I bought the full version I just had to enter the serial number into the trial to fully activate it.Previous article (now deprecated), I discussed how to upgrade - at no cost for licensed users - Nuance's PaperPort Version 11 (hereafter, PP11) and PaperPort Version 12 (PP12) to the latest 'point' releases, namely, 11.2 and 12.1. There's a free 15 day trial you can download to try it out, which is what I did. I didn't have to provide any proof I actually owned PaperPort. I just used the 'Contact Sales' link on their website, and said I saw mentioned on their website that they give discounts to PaperPort users and they replied with a link to a shopping cart with the $20 discount.

The price for the Pro version is $149, BUT if you tell them you're switching from PaperPort they'll give you a $20 discount. The built-in enhanced PDF editor (in the Pro version) is more feature packed than the one that comes with PaperPort. FileCenter just finds your scanner and it works without all that nonsense. One of the most annoying things about PaperPort is that you can't properly use a new scanner without a long and tedious configuration and test process. Functionally, it does everything PaperPort does, but better and faster.

Since I'd been getting tired of it anyway, I started researching a replacement and found Lucion FileCenter. Tried several fixes posted on their forums, to no avail. For some reason it stopped working on my workstation last week entirely: it just crashes as soon as you open it. I've been using PaperPort for a very long time, but the latest version (14.5) has been a bit buggy and bloated, and was released 3 years ago for Win10 compatibility (14.0 wasn't Win10 compatible) and hasn't been updated since.
