To import a file to the PaperPort desktop

You can bring in, or import, image items created in other programs to the PaperPort desktop.

This feature brings a copy of your source item onto the PaperPort desktop under its original file name and extension so you can make full use of PaperPort's image editing, annotation, and OCR tools. When you are finished, you can convert the file to a different format if desired.

The file types you can import as PaperPort Image items include:

• Graphic Interchange Format (.gif)

• JPEG (.jpg)

• PaperPort Image (.max)

• PC Paintbrush (.pcx)

• PCX Multi-page (.dcx)

• Portable Document Format (.pdf)

• Portable Network Graphics (.png)

• Tagged Image File Format (.tif)

• Windows Bitmap (.bmp)
