Another option to consider is NeatReceipts. The base version comes with a very slim USB-powered scanner that can travel around with you, and they sell a higher-end version with a sheet-fed scanner. It can also be set up to work with certain third-party scanners, I believe the ScanSnap is one of them. The default is that each page goes into its own PDF, which is pretty annoying, but you can merge files together to make bigger documents.
What NeatReceipts offers over bulk PDF is the ability to capture and extract lots of metadata that is specific to the document type (it supports three types: document, receipt, and contact). You can use it to extract and export contacts from your big stack of business cards, or to create a formatted expense report from a pile of travel receipts.
What you lose is portability and accessibility, since all of the files live in a "cabinet" on your computer.
I'm in the early stages of de-papering, and I'm considering using NeatReceipts for business cards and receipts, and dumping all of the docs to PDF's that I tag and organize using Punakea (a great tagging program for MacOS).
