Jonathan, 

I use Acrobat to mark up my data at the end of the day, as you know…I’m sure 
about any of the other programs would do the same.

Where I use it the most is scanning.  For some strange reason Forbes and 
Fortune STILL do not allow download of their issues as a PDF, you can only get 
the printed version and the ePub for the iPhone or iPad…

Not what I want at all, I want each issue to be saved for years…

I’m left with taking a paper cutter and slicing off the binder (Really tough on 
some of the massive issues), then I pull out what advertising I can and use 
Acrobat to scan and run the OCR software across it so I can search for info. 
across all the past issues.  I also eliminate the advertising that is opposite 
pages I want to keep so I drastically cut the number of pages stored.

I’ve written to both publications yelling at them for being such a poor 
Corporate citizen, using our trees, the cost of ink, binding, packaging, 
shipping and mail cost and then ballooning our landfills…They must have a 
strong union contract that prohibits them providing PDF downloads as do almost 
every other financial publication out there…

So, a great software is needed to get this correct…

John
