We've got a thousand or two paper survey plan sheets that need to be brought into our ESRI GIS software. We've already scanned them in color (due to redline markups) in files about 2MBs in size. The surveys are of long lineal utility line features that traverse many miles.

I've used ArcMAP to georeference a few and that went well although I haven't trimmed the collars or put them in a mosaic. Also, there are match lines on each map that ideally would be blended.

We're going to need to train someone how to trim collars, georeference, blend and mosaic the sheets so I'm looking for a relatively easy way to train a non-GIS person how to do this.

Is Global Mapper a good way to get this done? Any thoughts appreciated.
