PaperPort Getting Started Guide 37
Converting Items
Using PaperPort, you can convert scanned documents and text items to image
formats, and convert images back to text.
Convert items to image formats
You can convert scanned documents and text items to image formats.
The Save As command allows you to save image items to any of a variety of
standard image formats including PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, as well as the native
PaperPort Image format (.max).
You can convert text items and image items to PaperPort Image items (.max)
using the Duplicate as PaperPort Image command. The Duplicate as PDF Item
command allows you to convert text items to PDF Image items.
In PaperPort Professional 11, you can also convert text items such as Word
documents, to PDF Formatted Text & Graphics format.
By selecting more than one item, you can convert multiple items to a new format
at the same time. Refer to the online Help for details.
Assembling documents
You can assemble documents by stacking or combining.
You can stack a group of PDF or PaperPort Image (MAX) files into a single PDF
or MAX, respectively. The files to be selected need to be in a single folder, and
selected in the order you want them in the stack. Then click the Stack button and
choose Stack from the drop-down list, or choose Stack from the shortcut menu.
Original page sizes are conserved in the stacked document. The source files do
not remain after stacking.
You can combine image, MAX and PDF items. The target is a PDF file. The
following combination options are available:
• Combine into PDF stack: Each original page becomes one PDF page with
no resizing.
• Combine into Multi PDF, resize to fit: This resizes the contributing items
and always places four original pages onto a single PDF page.
• Combine into Multi PDF, maintain original sizes: This places as many
original pages onto each PDF page as it can.
