Last year we reviewed the Digital Archound Add-In for Windows Home Server, and we loved it.
The new version has just been released, and it has a new name – DA Document Manager.
What exactly will DA Document Manager do for me?
DA Document Manager is the Premier Digital Document Management System and it is the simplest paperless office solution available today.
PERSONAL, HOME and SOHO Records Management with Digital ArcHound allows you to easily digitize and save all of your important records.
PROTECT yourself from disaster by having digital copies of your identification cards, credit cards, insurance and health records and more.
DA Document Manager works with your existing scanner. If your scanner does not support PDF files use ArcHound’s “free” PDF Printer to quickly organize and store your digital documents.
DA Document Manager boasts a Google style search engine since powerful archiving is measured by its ability to recall records we have included the most robust search engine available.
DA Document Manager saves you valuable time. Instead of thumbing through your important paperwork, hoping to find that old document, you can retrieve it in seconds. Your time is valuable.
DA Document Manager helps you format every document so that the rotation, page order and password protection are exactly what you want. Plus easily add, remove or rearrange pages in existing documents.

This is my favorite add in for WHS. Being paperless has never been so much fun!
It does seem to be a goog program however they are not very clear on issuing a license after paying for it. I have sent them an email asking for help and the still have not responded.
