paperwork-gtk - Manages scanned documents and PDFs

paperwork-gtk [-h] command

Paperwork is a personal document manager.

It manages scanned documents and PDFs. It's designed to be easy and fast to use. The idea behind Paperwork is "scan & forget": You can just scan a new document and forget about it until the day you need it again. In other words, let the machine do most of the work for you.
