PaperPort 12 Professional — Features

A fast, affordable way to create and assemble PDF documents

These days, everyone knows how to open a PDF file. The portable document format (PDF), is an open standard file format for sharing electronic documents — via email, over the network, and on the Web. PaperPort Professional makes it easy to scan or convert documents of every kind — paper, forms, photos, electronic files, and more — into accurate and searchable industry-standard PDFs that can be easily organized, repurposed and shared across the enterprise. No more file incompatibility issues. No more problems opening attachments. No more toggling back and forth between applications to compile large custom documents. No more costly, wasteful reliance on printing, copying and mailing. With PaperPort, you can take a smarter, faster, and greener approach to business as usual.

  • Easily create PDF files from all your applications
    PaperPort Professional provides powerful PDF creation right on the PaperPort desktop. You can automatically create searchable PDF files from scanned documents or convert any application file to PDF. PaperPort produces industry-standard PDF files that are compatible with, but do not require, Adobe® Acrobat® and provide document security features to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Includes PDF Create Assistant Utility — Batch Create PDFs
    PDF Create Assistant is a separate utility that can be used to batch create PDF files, without opening PaperPort or the PDF Viewer. Combine files into a single PDF document, create PDF overlays or watermarks, or create PDF packages from a variety of file types such as Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint®, Excel, JPEG, TIFF or other PDF files that are compact, easy to email and universally viewable.
  • Scan-to-PDF
    Use your existing local or network scanner to turn paper documents directly into PDF files that can be easily organized and shared electronically. Or route scans from a network multifunction printer to individual desktops. Either way, PaperPort Professional makes it easier than ever to turn paper into PDF files that can be shared online. So you save time and money over traditional printing and mailing.
  • Archive your critical documents
    PDF/Archive files support (the PDF/A international standard), ensures that your critical documents will display and print properly for the next century.
  • Assemble custom PDF documents by dragging and dropping
    PaperPort Professional features a unique split desktop design that displays individual page thumbnails alongside document thumbnails. Just drag and drop entire documents within another document or selectively copy and paste individual pages from one PDF document to another. Quickly assemble custom PDF documents by combining scans and photos with Microsoft® Word, Excel® and PowerPoint® files. And once your custom PDF document is assembled, you can simply email it to intended recipients. No need for costly printing, copying, faxing or mailing. It’s like stacking, stapling and sending real paper — only a whole lot faster, easier and greener.
  • Capture web pages as PDF
    Capture Web pages as PDF files, providing a full-color duplicate for use offline. This is a great way to store a permanent record of a Web site or speed up Web-based research. It’s also ideal for sharing Web pages as PDF attachments instead of sending a link that requires connectivity to the Web. Captured Web pages look exactly like they would if you had sent them to your printer, so it's perfect for saving copies of receipts from web purchases without wasting paper.
  • Better PDF for Business — Take the next step
    The PDF Viewer Plus in PaperPort is based on the innovative PDF Converter Professional from Nuance. If PDF editing and conversion is critical to your business process then you’ll want to step up to the exceptional productivity that PDF Converter Professional provides. And PDF Converter Professional will automatically replace and upgrade the PDF Viewer Plus for seamless integration with the PaperPort Desktop.
