abstract⁄This paper deals with the efficiency of publication means within the scientific community. Scientists spend a substantial part of their total time in visiting meetings and conferences, reading publications, writing emails, etc. Thus any improvements in the communication processes, in particular technologies which minimize nonvalue adding activities such as tedious retrieving of source material from library shelves, could have farreaching positive consequences. In this respect a customized solution for the digitalization of paperbased conference proceedings is presented. The process of creating electronic copies of papers disseminating knowledge on CAAD in pdfformat is described as well as the respective decisions which were taken in this context.
