PaperPort Getting Started Guide 36
Annotating Pages
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. For a wider offering of PDF annotation tools use the supplied
Nuance PDF product. All other image items must be annotated in Image
View or ImageViewer, but remember that you can drag any of these files
onto the Nuance PDF product icon on the Send To bar to have them
converted to PDF Image or PDF Searchable, ready to be annotated or
otherwise edited.
In PDF files, annotations are editable, meaning that you can reposition,
change, 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 or PDF Searchable 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 ribbon whenever
you display an image item in the Image View window. Use commands in
the Annotation Settings group 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. See a detailed list of these tools in Help.
We detail here the annotation tools available in PDF Viewer Plus for use
with PDF files.
