Opening Image Files
Besides scanning documents, you can also open image files and PDF files with Readiris.
Readiris supports the following image file formats: GIF images, JPEG images, JPEG2000 images, Photoshop
images, PNG images, (uncompressed, packbits and Group 3 compressed) TIFF images, multipage TIFF
images, Windows bitmaps (BMP) and PDF documents.
To open existing image files:
Click the File button.
Then select the images files you want to process, and click Open.
You can also open multiple images files at a time:
Select the first image file and hold down the Cmd-key as you select additional images or;
Select a continuous range of image files by clicking the first image and holding down the Shift key
as you select the last image.
Should you want to abort the loading process, click the x icon in the top right corner of the progress bar.
Tip: when loading multipage image files (TIFF images) and PDF documents, you can define the page range
(in case you only need a certain chapter of a document for instance).
Notes:
When you click the File button on the top toolbar after you saved your current document, you are
prompted whether you want to delete the current document. Click No to add image files to the
recognized document or click Yes to start a new document.
When you try to open a password-protected PDF document you will be asked to enter the password.
When an image has been analyzed in Readiris and its recognition accuracy is not sufficient, a
warning sign is displayed both in the Page thumbnail and below the top toolbar.
