Other ways of opening image files

 You can drag and drop files to the Readiris icon in the Dock.

The files will be added after the images that are already loaded into Readiris.

 You can drag and drop files into the Readiris interface that is already opened.

Tip: when you drag files to the Pages panel, you can choose where they will be inserted.

Note: when you have split documents, you cannot insert pages before the first page of

Document 1. See How to separate documents for more information.

 You can drag and drop image files from the Photos app into the Readiris interface that is already

opened.

Note: it is not supported to drag images files from the Photos app to the Readiris icon in the

Dock.

 Ctrl-click any image file you want to open, point to Open With and click Readiris. The Readiris

software will open and display the image.

 Ctrl-click any image file you want to open, point to Services and select the conversion option of

your choice: Convert to XLSX, Convert to PDF or Convert to DOCX.

Or select any image file you want to open, click the Finder menu > Services and select the

conversion option of your choice.

This option converts your files without opening the Readiris interface, but uses the settings that

have been configured in the interface.

For more information see Converting Image Files from Finder.

 Readiris can be set as target application of your scanner, if your scanner supports that feature. That

way you scan documents on your scanner and transfer them to Readiris, just by clicking your

scanner buttons. See your scanner documentation for more information.

Tip: to process batches of images files, see the topics Automatic Processing and Batch Processing.
