• Combine into PDF Stack: Each original page becomes one PDF
page with no resizing.
• Combine into Multi-item PDF Pages, Resize to fit: This resizes
the contributing items and always places four original pages onto a
single PDF page.
• Combine into Multi-item PDF Pages, Maintain original sizes:
This places as many original pages onto each PDF page as it can.
• Combine into Thumbnail PDF Page: This creates thumbnails of
all item pages and fits as many as possible on a PDF page.
The original items remain in their original file types.
Combining usually takes more time than stacking because of PDF generation.
PaperPort Professional can add
itionally combine text items. To convert a text
item, the application that created it must be available on your system.
Convert images to text
You can convert scanned documents to text by a simple drag and drop of
the thumbnail to your word processor program. PaperPort automatically
processes your scanned document using PaperPort’s OCR software,
launches your word processing program, and loads the scanned text into a
document ready for editing. PaperPort also allows you to copy text from
part of an image item for use in a text editing, word processing, or
spreadsheet program. The OCR software processes the text and copies it to
the Windows Clipboard. Open the program in which you want to insert the
text, and use Paste to paste the text in a file.
Filling Forms
Active PDF forms can be filled using your PDF product. Choose the Hand
tool and step through the form fields using Tab or arrow keys, making
choices and entering texts. Help and the How-to-Guides list all the
possible form control types.
