Converting Items Using PaperPort, you can convert scanned documents and text items to image formats, and convert images back to text. Convert items to image formats You can convert scanned documents to image formats. The Save As command allows you to save image items to any of a variety of standard image formats including, PDF, JPEG, and TIFF, as well as the native PaperPort Image format (.max). 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. In the Page View window, 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.
