92 CHAPTER 9: IMPORTING, EXPORTING, AND PRINTING
EXPORTING PAPERPORT ITEMS
Exporting an item saves a copy of it in the format you selected while the
original remains as it was.
You might want to export items when:
• Someone else needs to open the item in an application that requires a
different file format, such as JPEG for embedding the file in a Web
page.
• You want to save the file on a floppy disk.
• You want to create a self-viewing PaperPort file and send it to
someone who doesn’t have PaperPort or Visual Explorer.
The following table describes the formats for exporting items:
Note: In Page View, use the Save As command to make a copy of the
original item. For more information, see “Saving an item in a different
format.”
