Adding Documents to PageKeeper
PageKeeper is designed to help you organize, retrieve, and use any
document on your computer. To do this, PageKeeper adds documents
to its own folder system. You can scan paper documents into
PageKeeper’s folder system and add existing computer documents such
as word-processing files, spreadsheet files, and Web pages.
When documents are added to PageKeeper, it indexes them and creates
thumbnail representations of them. The thumbnails are linked to the
location where the documents reside on your computer, similar to
Windows shortcuts.
During the process of scanning or adding a document to PageKeeper, a
temporary thumbnail is displayed on the PageKeeper desktop.
When the job is complete, the temporary thumbnail is replaced by a
thumbnail representing the first page of the document.
For more information on thumbnails, see “Document Thumbnails” on
page 101.
