My process to this point for scans of digital documents (primary source journal articles, book chapters, proceedings, etc.) has been: scan to high quality PDF into my desktop "inbox" folder (purged at least daily)Rename PDF as per my systemOCR with Acrobat X ProSave as optimized PDFImport to my "collection box" within EN and tag/note away.
