To do so, I imported my original iPhone 3G purchase receipt from 2008 into the application. As mentioned earlier, I routinely scan important documents into my Mac so I was eager to test this feature. The primary reason DevonThink can be valuable to paperless offices is its support for OCR, which translates text from scanned documents and PDFs into searchable text. I imported several important files, documents, and PDFs and let DevonThink do the rest using its default settings. I then sorted most of the documents on my Mac accordingly. Although you can create as many databases as you’d like in DevonThink, I created two for review purposes, a personal and a professional database.
