PaperPort Getting Started Guide 5

Welcome to PaperPort

Welcome to the ScanSoft®PaperPort Getting Started Guide.

PaperPort®provides the easiest way to turn paper into organized digital

documents that everybody in an office can quickly find and use. PaperPort works

with scanners, multifunction printers, and networked digital copiers to turn

paper documents into digital documents. It then helps you to manage them

along with all other electronic documents in one convenient and easy-to-use

filing system.

PaperPort’s large, clear item thumbnails allow you to visually organize, retrieve

and use your scanned documents, including Word files, spreadsheets, PDF files

and even digital photos. PaperPort’s Scanner Enhancement Technology tools

ensure that scanned documents will look great while the annotation tools let you

add notes and highlights to any scanned image.

Installing and Activating PaperPort

You can install PaperPort from a CD or from the Web.

The PaperPort installation program provides easy step-by-step instructions.

Follow the instructions on each screen to install the software.

Installation and un-installation require Administrator rights; for Activation and

Deactivation you need web access. You will be invited to activate the product at

the end of installation. Provided your serial number is found at its storage

location and has been correctly entered, no user interaction is required and no

personal information is transmitted.

If you do not activate the product at installation time, you will be invited to do
