@vevola: You might be interested in this.
I see you use Foxit and the "reference management" programme Mendeley Desktop.
I have recently started using another reference management programme called Qiqqa, having tried Zotero and Mendelay - I found the latter two did not meet my requirements.

I was blown away by Qiqqa though - it scans and indexes text-searchable PDF files and PDF files containing images - i.e., it OCRs any text in the images in the PDF files. I let Qiqqa loose on my library of about 650 PDF documents, and left it scanning and indexing the lot overnight.
It successfully OCRed and indexed all the imaged PDF files too. It seems quite intuitive to use and has lots of good features.

There's a good list and comparison of "reference management software" here: Comparison of reference management software

On the Qiqqa website, there is a good comparison between Qiqqa, EndNote, Zotero, and Mendelay, :  Qiqqa Features
The OCR capability stands out as a strength for Qiqqa.

Thanks! I'll try it out!

skwire:
Nice find, IainB.  Thanks for sharing.

@IainB
Yikes! I've been playing around with Qiqqa, but there seems to be a lot of glitches! It's uploading papers even when I asked not to, there's no way to stop any type of operation, and well... I think I'm sticking to Mendeley and skwire's app!

BTW, @skwire I donated some $$ to you. It's not a lot, just a symbolic gesture. I encourage others to donate to coders as well! Thanks!
