Converting Items
Using PaperPort, you can convert scanned documents and text items to image
formats, and convert images back to text.
Convert items to image formats
You can convert scanned documents and text items to image formats.
The Save As command allows you to save image items to any of a variety of
standard image formats including PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, as well as the native
PaperPort Image format (.max).
You can convert text items and image items to PaperPort Image items (.max)
using the Duplicate as PaperPort Image command. The Duplicate as PDF Item
command allows you to convert text items to PDF Image items.
In PaperPort Professional 10, you can also convert text items such as Word
documents, to PDF Formatted Text & Graphics format.
By selecting more than one item, you can convert multiple items to a new format
at the same time. Refer to the online Help for details.
Convert images to text
You can convert scanned documents to text by a simple drag and drop of the
thumbnail to your word processor program. PaperPort automatically processes
your scanned document using PaperPort’s OCR software, launches your word
processing program, and loads the scanned text into a document ready for
editing.
In the Page View window, PaperPort also allows you to copy text from part of an
image item for use in a text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program.
The OCR software processes the text and copies it to the Windows Clipboard.
Open the program in which you want to insert the text, and use Paste to paste
the text in a file.
