PaperPort includes two buttons to help you straighten pages or images that were scanned into your computer at a skewed angle. You can use:
Auto-Straighten to let PaperPort
analyze and automatically straighten images for you
Straighten
to manually straighten any image item that you display in the Image
View window
You can also use Auto Straighten in a scan profile.
Select one or more image
items on the PaperPort desktop then choose Auto-Straighten on the Item
ribbon,
— or —
Display an image item in
the Image View window, and then choose Auto-Straighten on the Page
ribbon.
Note
Auto-Straighten performs best on images with an area of good contrast between text and a homogeneous background. Straightening uses text direction as an anchor. This feature works up to a 15-degree correctional rotation of the image, and can also handle flipped and/or 90-degree rotated orientations.
Display the image item in the Image View window.
On the Page ribbon, choose Straighten.
The pointer changes to a drawing tool when you move it over the image.
Hold down the mouse button and draw a line along an edge that should
be horizontal or vertical. When you release the mouse button, PaperPort
uses the line as a guide to straighten the item.
Tips
Auto-straighten works best on images containing lines of text or pictures with clear borders. Auto-straighten removes annotations; use the following procedure to preserve them.
Choose 
Select All in
the Annotations group on the Edit ribbon then
click 
Cut
in the Clipboard group.
This temporarily removes annotations so you can safely auto-straighten
the page.
Finally on the Edit ribbon, click
Paste in the Clipboard group to
put the annotations back on the page.
On the Scan or Get Photo pane, select a scan profile that should contain the straightening feature.
Click Settings and the SET tab.
On the SET panel, turn on Auto-straighten. Then click OK.
Tip
Be sure your setting is suitable for all pages you plan to scan with this profile.
