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 files (these MAX files
are read-only). 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 especially useful in a dual-screen environment. You can also choose to
open the item in the application associated with the file type.
