10 Daily Things

You want to move to a total paperless office but no matter how hard you try to achieve that goal, there are few things that will always require paper. XPaper PDF software along with Logitech io2 Pen may really ease your workflow. XPaper installs as a PDF printer driver on your Windows machine similar to Adobe Acrobat.

Here’s how it works: You compose a document in Microsoft Word (or just about any other software) and print it on a regular sheet of paper using any printer. Your clients then fill in the documents in their own handwriting using the Logitech pen. See demo.

Now instead of scanning this document, you simply connect the Logitech pen to your computer and the document(s) are instantly transferred in PDF format. There’s no need for a scanner and you really save time because you don’t have to scan ten different pages.
