Patricia- I just checked out Imation's Luminous Media Manager at Seyboldt here is San Francisco. It sits on top of SQL servers ( MS, Oracle) and has great imaging, works with PDF files and interfaces with other workflow and prepress programs. check it out www.luminous.com. Also Bulldog ( www.bulldog.ca) which sits on Informix and will soon use Oracle was very impressive as well it should be. What excited me about it is that with a little effort you can combine document and image management. Others may be able to do this, but by using one of the Informix blades it can do text search if you have saved the file as an ASCII. So scan the document image, attach an OCR ASCII file that is 95% acurate, but which can accomodate text search, but see the scanned image. You document people does this make sense for those of us who need to include some text with our images.Trudy Levy Image Integration 7 Third Ave San Francisco CA 94118 415-750-1274 //www.sirius.com/~iminteg Images are information Manage them!
