I almost always use Okular to read PDFs. However, I have been using Acrobat to create PDFs from scans.
A while ago I had done a project where I scanned 15 years worth of a company's newspaper (large format; ie, 11x17). I used Acrobat to index all the scans to create a searchable library. Is there an open source solution for something like that?
I had the good fortune to get hired by what you call an "open organization" back in the mid 80's. It was a medical device manufacturer. We were so successful that GE bought us in the late 90's. I find it extraordinarily ironic that they couldn't understand our management style. They insisted they were not going to change anything about our operation, but clearly that was a lie. Ultimately they killed off our culture and replaced it with theirs. And now they want that open culture back. GE suffers from an enormous amount of arrogance combined with a paralyzing inertia. The open organization isn't new. It's simply common sense.
