I don’t know whether DEVONthink Pro Office can control your existing scanner or not, but it can produce searchable PDFs from your scanner’s output files. Yes, DEVONthink Pro Office can OCR existing image-only PDFs. I have some existing pdfs, will Devonthink Pro Offices OCR function work for these without using ScanSnap? Likewise my existing scanner does not have OCR so if I scan documents using my existing scanner and import to Devonthink Pro Office will the OCR function still work? I would rather hold off purchasing the ScanSnap if I have the OCR capability within Devonthink Pro Office. The other applications you mentioned are not relevant and would not improve the ScanSnap/DEVONthink partnership. You will need ScanSnap Manager (supplied with the scanner) to control the ScanSnap and send scanner output to DEVONthink. Judging from the comments so far it would be ok to purchase ScanSnap without the additional software.
