I assume many of you host a DMS such as Paperless and use it to organise the dead trees you still receive in the snail mail for some reason in the year of the lord 2023.

How do you encode your scans? JPEG is pretty meh for text even at better quantisation levels (“dirty” artefacts everywhere) and PNGs are quite large. More modern formats don’t go into a PDF, which means multiple pages aren’t possible (at least not in Paperless).

    Interesting idea but I think I’d like to retain similar to original quality in case I wanted to redo OCR if/when Paperless’ OCR improves in the future.

        Correct. That’s the currently maintained paperless project.

          Thanks! There’s a very interesting trail of dead projects to follow. But I got ngx working and it’s great so far.
