Annotating Pages; Annotation Tools - ScanSoft PAPERPORT 1.1 Getting Started Manual

Annotating Pages

PaperPort includes a collection of annotation tools that allow you to mark up
scanned documents with information you would like to keep with that
document.
On PDF and PaperPort Image (.max) files, annotations are editable, meaning
that you can reposition, change, or remove them – or edit textual content –
whenever you want. On other types of image items, such as JPEG and Windows
Bitmap files, annotations become a permanent part of the image when you save
the item. For item types that cannot accept annotations, PaperPort automatically
disables the annotation tools.
Using PaperPort's annotation tools, you can add notes and text, highlight text,
draw lines and arrows, or stamp a picture onto an image item.
It is easy to send a document with annotations to people without PaperPort by
using the PDF Image format. The recipient only has to double click on the
e-mail attachment they receive from you and they will see the document in the
system default PDF viewer – annotations intact.

Annotation tools

You can select an annotation tool from the Annotation toolbar whenever you
display an image item in the Page View window. Right-click on a tool to change
properties for future annotations created with that tool. This does not affect
existing annotations. To turn off any annotation tool, click a different one – the
Select Annotation tool is usually the best for this.
Right-click on the Annotation toolbar to choose which icons you want to
display.
