Before switching to Mac, I used PaperPort in anger (while it still belonged to, I think, Xerox?) and found it pretty good.

I have. It takes a little time to set it up, but saves a lot of drudgery once you have. I have had no problems with it.

Both are good products for the individual user. Kofax acquired PowerPDF from Nuance and with the exception of portfolios, I have always been very satisfied. Porfoilios stopped working with the demise of Flash Payer (a good thing?) but not too many use that feature.
I see Kofax now has PaperPort. I have not used PaperPort for a while so I did not know that. I imagine that it, like PowerPDF, is unchanged.

I need to dig a bit deeper into the program. It looks like it offer a lot of features, but I suspect one has to understand what they need accomplished, and how they want it done, before trying to set it up. Not much info. on the originally developer, but that is okay. I am always curious about program developers when I see software from small shops or individuals.

Yes, it seems that both were acquired by Kofax. And neither looks to have received a major update in some time. That is fine if they work as intended, and as neither seems to lock you in their system, I am feeling a bit more comfortable about starting out with them. I suspect that Paper Port will be more useful to me for the task at hand, but it is nice to know that I have access to Power PDF if needed. While I have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription for Lightroom, and have Acrobat Pro at work, I only have Acrobat reader at home.
