To browse through item thumbnails

A quick way to locate your PaperPort items is to visually browse through the thumbnails on your PaperPort desktop. Each thumbnail is a small graphic representation of your document or photo.

PaperPort shows large, clear thumbnails of all your scanned documents and photos, including:

To display thumbnails, click the Page Thumbnail button on the Desktop ribbon (desktop view) or on the View ribbon (Image View).

Each thumbnail appears with an icon that identifies the program in which the file was created or is currently associated. This makes it easy and convenient to quickly see and find all different types of items on your computer.

Click on a thumbnail to see image attributes.

A small icon indicates that the Read-only attribute is set for that item.

A small icon indicates that the image has annotations (these are not displayed on the thumbnail).

A small icon indicates additional information on author, keywords, tips and features, that can be viewed by hovering the cursor over the item. For a newly added item, this icon appears after you refresh the folder by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard. This appears only in PaperPort Professional.

A small icon indicates that the PDF file has searchable text.

When you select a thumbnail for a 
 multi-page image item (including all flavors of PDF files), you can scroll through the page thumbnails by using the Page Navigator in the upper right corner.

Tip
