PaperPort includes a collection of annotation tools that allow you to mark up 
scanned documents with information you would like to keep with that 
document. 
On PDF and PaperPort Image (.max) files, annotations are editable, meaning 
that you can reposition, change, or remove them – or edit textual content –
whenever you want. On other types of image items, such as JPEG and Windows 
Bitmap files, annotations become a permanent part of the image when you save 
the item. For item types that cannot accept annotations, PaperPort automatically 
disables the annotation tools. 
Using PaperPort’s annotation tools, you can add notes and text, highlight text, 
draw lines and arrows, or stamp a picture onto an image item.
It is easy to send a document with annotations to people without PaperPort by 
using the PDF Image format. The recipient only has to double click on the 
e-mail attachment they receive from you and they will see the document in the 
system default PDF viewer – annotations intact.
Annotation tools
You can select an annotation tool from the Annotation toolbar whenever you 
display an image item in the Page View window. Right-click on a tool to change 
properties for future annotations created with that tool. This does not affect 
existing annotations. To turn off any annotation tool, click a different one – the 
Select Annotation tool is usually the best for this.
Right-click on the Annotation toolbar to choose which icons you want to 
display.
Select

Select this tool and click in an annotation to
