PaperPort items
The documents and photographs you acquire in PaperPort are called items.
There are two types of items:
image items and text items .
• Image items are scanned documents, photographs, drawings and
other digital items in an image format, such as PDF Image, PDF
Searchable, JPEG, TIFF, or PaperPort Image (.max) files. They can be
scanned, copied or imported into the PaperPort desktop.
• Text items are documents that contain editable text, such as Word
(.doc), HTML, and Excel files, and are created by word processing and
other text-based applications. Normal PDF files are considered to be
text items.
Image items when double-clicked open by default in Image View that offers
many image-handling tools, including the SET tools. Go to Options >
Desktop to change this behavior. You can choose ImageViewer; this offers
the same functionality as Image View, but in a separate window so you can
still view the PaperPort desktop as you edit the chosen item. This is specially
useful in a dual-screen environment. You can also choose to open the item in
the application associated with the file type.
