I've recently started my own business and have gotten involved with a number of networking groups. I'm now sitting here with a bunch of business cards. I have a Canon CanoScan 5600F that will let me scan the cards but I can only save them as PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PICT.
Rather than recreating all these business cards by hand, is there an easy way to import all these into Address Book?

You can import business cards into Apple's Address Book by using Bento for that purpose, as follows:
1. Scan business card into a readily identified folder in Documents, like My Scanned Busines Cards, for example. Use .jpeg format to store scan.
2. In Bento, go to your addresses imported from Address Book.
3. Create a new field called Business Card, for example.
4. Make sure you allow enough square space to fit your Jpeg You can resize the field to the scale of the card by dragging its corner.
5. Go to your scanned business card folder in Documents and select the card corresponding to the address you want to insert it to in Bento.
6. Drag and drop your .jpeg to the newly created field in Bento,
7. And voilà, there you have it.
Note: This setup for your business cards will only show up in the Bento interface, in the new field, not in Address Book. But the rest of the Address Book fields continue to update in Bento. ˚
