Note: PaperPort items exported as BMP or TIFF files can be as much
as 10 times larger than the original PaperPort items. If you have an
application that compresses files, you might want to compress the
exported files before saving them on a floppy disk

XPORTING WITH COMPRESSION
When you export color and grayscale images, the files can become large
and occupy large amounts of hard disk space. To overcome this
problem, PaperPort has a built-in compression feature that uses the
JPEG file format to compress files. The more a file is compressed, the
less disk space it requires. As compression increases, the image quality
decreases. You can determine the best level of compression by setting the
import and export preferences.
To set the amount of compression when exporting a file:
1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
The PaperPort Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Click the Import/Export tab.
The Import/Export preferences appear.
