PaperPort Getting Started Guide 38
Use PDF Searchable Image
In addition to using PaperPort’s proprietary search and indexing
capabilities, you can also create
PDF Searchable Image files
that can be indexed and searched outside of PaperPort. PDF
Searchable is a flavor of PDF; it contains a bitmapped image of a
document or graphic with textual content stored as hidden text. This format
maintains an identical appearance to the original document and enables other
programs, such as Nuance PDF Converter Professional, Windows Desktop
Search or Google to search the contents of the file.
You can create files in
PDF Searchable Image format as follows:
• Open an item and choose Save As from its shortcut menu. Choose
PDF Searchable Image as its file type.
• Scan an item using the profile ‘Color Searchable PDF document’.
• Import an image-only PDF into PDF Viewer Plus or PDF Converter
Professional. It may offer to make a searchable copy; if not select
Make Searchable PDF from the Tools menu.
• Print an image to the PaperPort desktop. By default it becomes an
Image PDF. Go to Desktop > Options > Item to specify Searchable
PDF as your preference.
Schedule indexing tasks
The Index Manager is a PaperPort
Professional 12 application
designed to create, modify and
schedule indexing tasks for a given
local or network folder. Indexed
files can afterwards be searched
with the All-in-One Search.
