I don't like getting rid of paper documents. I have credit card bills going back about 20 years, and even notes from my college math classes going back to the early 1980's.
I plan on buying a scanner with a 50 page document feed that lets you scan directly to PDF files, in order to scan all of my bills and papers into PDF files and get rid of perhaps 10 boxes of paper and store everything on CDs.
Some of the papers were organized into manilla folders about 5 years ago, but I never finished. Most of the papers are unorganized in piles, some in boxes and some not. I think it is easy enough to stick the papers in the scanner and convert them to files, but I'll still need to separate the big PDF files into smaller files (I want one file for each bill/statement) and sort them out. It may be easier for already sorted papers, but if I have 50 different bills on 50 pages this could take time. Also wondering if I could have a problem if not all pages are 8.5'' x 11".
