Simple Barcode Filer

This program is ideal for invoices, work orders, purchase orders, personnel records, etc. where each document has a unique identifier. Simple barcode filing will read that number and file the document by that number.

Pros: This application makes filing easier for documents based on barcodes. Barcodes on documents allows a machine to read a document identifier and file that document by that identifier. Since barcodes were designed to be read by machines they are far more accurately managed by machines. This application is in two parts creating a functional package. First part is organizing of information. Documents are the essentials of any operating organizing and organizing them so that they can be found easily is an important functional requirement in organizational setting. This program is ideal for invoices, work orders, purchase orders, loan files, personnel records, delivery tickets etc. where each document has a unique identifier. The identifier can be anything that is unique to the record such as a check number, invoice number, employee number, or loan number. All invoices, for example being filed under an invoices file could be a good way of doing the input processing. Any scanner that can scan to a file or a medium sized production type TWAIN compatible scanner is good for this input process. Barcode Filing will read that number and file the document by that number. If a second barcode is available it will use the second barcode to create a bookmark in a PDF, allowing the user to go directly to the document section they are looking for in a master document. There’s another way this second barcode could be used. All such items could be put together on retrieval intone file. That way just the relevant sections can be put together for on retrieval.

The barcode itself can be placed on the document by the software that creates it such as invoice numbers, purchase orders etc. or by the use of a cover page creator that is included with Simple Barcode Filing.

Cons: No problematic issues here.

Overall: Nicely organized application, nice features, easy to use and this is 5 stars material.

Simple Bar Code Filer, a component of File by Barcode Suite, is a simple to use program that files documents by bar codes. The bar code is used as a unique identifier for the document and when processed the document is named the contents of the bar code so that it can easily be retrieved.
The program looks for up to two barcodes in a specified location on a tiff image, when found the file is separated, renamed the barcode contents and optionally converted to a PDF.
The program can be used to batch process invoices, work orders, personnel records, student records or any other structured document that can have a bar code placed on it.
For instance a check stub could have the check number and the vendor's number printed on it. When the stub is scanned all documents relating to the check would be placed after it. When processed the file is split when it finds the check stub, placed in the vendor's folder and named the check number.
Or if desired all the files could go into one folder and just named the check number. This principle of using one or two barcodes works on numerous document types.
If the file cannot have a barcode placed on it, a cover page with barcodes can be placed on top of the document; this cover page will be dropped from the output file.
For when a file already exists, Simple Barcode Filer can be set to automatically append or replace the existing file. If appending, the pages are added and a book mark is placed in the output PDF showing when it was appended.
The program has a monitor (watched folder) function making it ideal for use with a copier that scans to a file folder on a network. With this option the user can automatically rename files as it is running in the background.
