It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing. ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE can be accessed through the ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.
Scanning Viewing items ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder). 2 Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® 9.0SE Desktop. You can see PaperPort® 9.0SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® 9.0SE items (files created using other applications). Non-PaperPort® 9.0SE items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a non-PaperPort® 9.
Scanning Quick links to other applications ScanSoft® PaperPort® 9.0SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a “working link” to them. The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. 2 To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to select an item and then fax it.
Scanning Exporting items in other formats You can export or save PaperPort® 9.0SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PDF or self-viewing. For example, to create a file for an Internet Web site, export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG files for displaying images. Exporting an image file 1 Select the Save As command from the File pull-down menu in the PaperPort® 9.0SE window. The Save ‘XXXXX’ as dialog box will be displayed.
