Notes

Image editing buttons work only with image items. This means all buttons will be disabled when you view a text document in the Image View window.

In addition, certain image editing operations are not valid for particular item types. To indicate that an operation is not available, PaperPort automatically disables the appropriate button on the Page ribbon

Some SET tools can be defined in scanning profiles to automatically apply image changes to all newly scanned pages. See About Scan Profiles and Modifying Scan Profiles.
