Information about this Orientation Guide
The purpose of the PPDM Orientation Guide is to provide our Customers with information
about how they can use the PPDM software to make themselves more productive with the
documents that they have scanned from their device and with all of their digital documents
on their PC. This training is focused on providing information about key features of this
software that business users most often use to make them more productive. It does not go
over every item in every drop-down menu, but focuses on business workflows and practices
that you need to be productive with the documents in your office.
This training is not organized by product, but instead it is divided into topics. To clarify
which product you are working with in each topic, we have included product logos showing
the specific products that are used in that particular topic.

Business Document File Types
Today, most offices have 75% - 90% of their information stored in one of these three document
formats: Paper, PDF, and Microsoft Office. This training session will help you learn how to move
information between these three document formats.
Business users have three needs for PDF: Create, Edit, and Secure PDF files. This training
session will show you how to meet all of these needs, without having to purchase the full Adobe
Acrobat software.

Additional information about PDF files: Flavors of PDF Files
There are three main types or “flavors” of PDF files that can be created using PPDM with a MFP:
•
Image Only PDF
The PDF file looks exactly like the original paper document. The
PDF file is only viewable and is not searchable. These PDF files
can be cleaned up and annotated in PaperPort or PDF Converter
Professional (additional information is available on Pages 18 19).
Image
Only
It can be created by scanning as a PDF from a MFP.
•
Text Searchable PDF (PDF with image on text)
This is a multi-layered document. The “top” layer is an image layer
and the “bottom” layer is a layer of text. The layer of text is what
makes this PDF searchable. When this file is viewed in the free
Adobe Reader, you are looking at the image layer, so the PDF looks
exactly like the original paper document.
Image Layer
Text Layer
PDFs that are scanned from a MFP are Image Only PDFs and are not
yet searchable. A Text Searchable PDF can be created on the
PaperPort Desktop by right clicking on an Image Only PDF and
selecting Save As > PDF Searchable Image. Another option is to
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) a document using OmniPage
and select “PDF with image on text” as the file type.
Text Searchable PDF is the best file format for digital archiving
because every word inside the document is searchable. They can be
searched upon using almost any document management software,
including SharePoint, iManage, and Documentum. Also, they can be
searched upon using the Search feature in Windows Explorer.
•
PDF Normal
Most often, it is created from a PDF that originated as a text
document. This file is viewable and searchable. It can be edited
in PDF Converter Professional and Adobe Acrobat.
It can be created by printing from a text document (Word, Excel,
Word Perfect, etc.) using the ScanSoft PDF Create printer
driver.

Scanning Documents to your Desktop PC
Scanning at the MFP
Your SE has already trained you on how to scan a document using the steps listed below.
The DesktopDeliveryPSP tool included with PPDM completely automates the scanning process
so that each new scanned image is there waiting for you on your PaperPort desktop by the time
you physically return to your office from scanning at the MFP.
To scan a document back to your PC:
1.
Load the paper into the document feeder on the MFP.
2.
Select “Other Function” from the control screen.
3.
Select your template (name) from the list and touch the LOGIN button to access your
personal scanning preferences.
4.
Select your “PaperPort Folder”, select your “OmniPage Workflows”, select your
“PaperPort Profiles”.
5.
Press the GREEN Start button. Walk back to your PC and DesktopDeliveryPSP will
deliver the scanned image back to your PC and save it onto the PaperPort Desktop. The
PaperPort Desktop will be open and your scanned image will be on the PaperPort
Desktop with a red box around it.
11
Working with Scanned and Digital
Documents on the PaperPort Desktop
PaperPort Desktop
After scanning a document from the MFP, when you return to your PC, PaperPort will be open, and you
will see your scanned image on the PaperPort Desktop with a red box around it.
Scanned Image
PaperPort Desktop
PaperPort Folder View
PaperPort automatically displays your My Documents folder and all of that folders sub-folders in
PaperPort’s Folder View. This is the same My Documents folder structure that you see through Windows
Explorer.
When you click on a folder in PaperPort’s Folder View, the documents and images in this folder are
displayed on the PaperPort Desktop as Thumbnails. These Thumbnails show you a view of what the
document actually looks like, making it very easy for you to visually manage all of the documents on your
PC, including Microsoft Office, PDF, and images. Icons showing you the file type are visible in the lower
right corner of the Thumbnail.

Adding Additional Folders to Folder View
By default, the My Documents folder is added to the PaperPort’s Folder View. To add additional
folders to Folder View:
1. Click on the “Folder Manager” button.
2. Click on “Add”.
3. Browse to the folder that you want to add (local or network) and click on “OK”.

Moving Documents into Work Processes
Moving a Document into a Different Folder
To move a document into a different
folder, simply drag and drop it from
the PaperPort Desktop into a different
folder.
13
PaperPort SendTo Bar – Information and Email Links
The PaperPort SendTo Bar allows you to quickly and easily move documents from the PaperPort
Desktop into other applications on your PC.
When PaperPort is installed, it automatically detects which programs that you have on your PC and
automatically adds text and imaging programs to the SendTo Bar. For example if you have Corel
Word Perfect installed on your PC rather than Microsoft Word, the PaperPort will create a link to
Word Perfect, but will not create a link to Word.
The PaperPort SendTo Bar allows you to quickly and easily email documents from the PaperPort
Desktop using several popular email programs, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes by
following these steps:
1. Drag a document from the PaperPort
Desktop down to the email link.
2. A new email message will appear with the
document already attached.
3. Simply type in the email address and click
on “Send”.
4. You have now sent the document as an
email attachment.

Creating PDF Files
There are many ways to create PDF files using PPDM with a MFP. Instructions for some of these ways are
below:
• Create a PDF File by Scanning from a MFP
Please refer to the section of this guide titled “Scanning from the MFP” for instructions for how
to scan a PDF file to your desktop.
• Combine Different File Types into one PDF File
1. On the PaperPort Desktop, hold
down the Ctrl key and click on the
documents that you want to
combine together. These could be
documents of different file types.
For example, you could select a
MS Word and MS Excel file.
2
2. Right click and select “Combine
Items into PDF”.
3. PaperPort will make a PDF file
copy of each file and will
automatically stack the PDF file
copies together into a PDF file on
the PaperPort Desktop.
14
• Combine Different File types into a PDF Package
A PDF Package allows you to use PDF files like folders, allowing you to
group multiple documents and document types into a single PDF
Package file. Unlike combining files, each document in the PDF
Package retains its own document and security settings.
Packages help you group related files, making it easier to send
them by e-mail.
1.
Go to Start > All Programs > Nuance PDF Professional 5 > PDF
Converter Professional to open the PDF Converter Professional
application.
2.
Go to File > New Package.
3.
In the “Create PDF” window, click on the “Add” button.
4.
Browse to the location of a file that you want to add to the PDF
Package and click on “Open”. Repeat this step until all of the
desired documents have been added to the “Create PDF”
window.
5.
Click on the “Options” button to choose if you want a default
Nuance cover page for the PDF Package or if you want the first
document in the PDF Package to be the cover page.
6.
Click on the Start button at the bottom of the window.
7.
In the “Save As” window, browse to the location where you would
like to save your PDF Package and click on “Save” and wait for
the conversion status to complete to finish the process of creating
your PDF Package. Using this process, all non-PDF files will
have PDF file copies of the files added to the PDF Package. This
file can now be saved or emailed to someone else and they can
view it using the free Adobe Reader or PDF Converter
Professional.
8.
To have non-PDF files retain their original file type (such as Word
or Excel):
3
6
8c
a. Open PDF Converter Professional.
b. Go to File > Open and browse to the location of a saved PDF
Package and click on “Open”.
c.
Drag and drop the non-PDF files from Windows Explorer or the
PaperPort Desktop into PDF Converter Professional and they
will be added to the PDF Package in their original file type.
d. Go to File > Save. The non-PDF files have now become part of
the PDF Package but they have retained their original file
types. For example, Word documents will still be viewed as
Word documents when this PDF Package is emailed to
someone else.
15
• PDF Creation from any Application
PDF Converter Professional 5 includes the ScanSoft PDF Create! print driver that enables you to print
a PDF file from any application.
1. From within the desired application, go to File > Print and then select “ScanSoft PDF Create!” as your
printer.
2. Select OK and you will be prompted to select where you want your PDF files saved.
3. You can also click on the “Properties” button and click on the “PDF Settings” tab to access more
advanced features, such as version, compression level, and security.
4. By clicking on the “Advanced” button next to the “Security” drop-down menu, you can select your
desired security options so that you can automatically print a secure PDF file. More information about
PDF Security is on Page 22.

Editing PDF Files
• Rearrange and Add Pages to a PDF File
On the PaperPort Desktop, the Page Thumbnails pane displays the page thumbnails of a selected PDF
file in Desktop View. Within Thumbnail View you can rearrange pages within a PDF files and add pages
into the PDF.
1. On the PaperPort Desktop, click once
on the PDF file to select it.

2. Go to View > Page Thumbnails. The
left pane will change to the Thumbnail
View and each page of the PDF file will
be displayed.
3
3. Within Thumbnail View, use your mouse
to drag and drop the pages to rearrange
the pages in the PDF file.
4. Also, you can drag documents in any
format from the PaperPort Desktop into
Thumbnail View. A PDF file copy of that
document will be created and the newly
created PDF file will be automatically
inserted into the location in the PDF file
that you selected.
4
• Stacking and Unstacking PDF files
You can combine, or stack, individual PDFs into multipage PDFs. PDF file thumbnails can be copied,
stacked, and unstacked just as you would with physical paper documents.
To stack, or combine, two PDF files one on top of the other to create a new document, you can either:
•
Select one PDF and then drag that image with the mouse on top of the other PDF file.
•
Select both images you want to combine by holding down the Ctrl key and using the mouse to click on
each of the PDF files that you want to combine together. Then click on the “Stack” button on the
Command Bar.
In both cases, the result will be a combined new PDF file with multiple pages.
To unstack pages in the PDF file, right click on the PDF file and select Unstack > All Pages or Current Page.

19
Redacting PDF Files
Redaction is the removal of content prior to release or publication. Redaction is often referred to as the
“blacking out” of confidential text in a document to be produced, and has many applications in
government, the court system and many regulated industries. A key concept is that Deletion is not equal
to Redaction. The information you delete from a PDF with the Delete command is not actually cleared
from the document permanently and can almost always be recovered.
PDF Converter Professional integrates precise redaction into the highlight, strikethrough and underline
annotation tools found within the PDF Converter Professional application. Note that this feature is only
available for PDF Normal and Text Searchable PDF files.
1.
On the PaperPort Desktop, right click on the PDF file that you
want to redact and select “View” to open the PDF file in PDF
2.
The Redaction tools will only work with Text Searchable PDFs
and PDF Normal Files. If you have an Image Only PDF file,
please follow these steps to convert it into a Text Searchable
PDF file so that you can use the redaction tools:
4
a.
From inside of PDF Converter Professional, go to File
> Save As.
b.
From the “Save as type” drop-down menu, select
“Searchable PDF Documents (*.pdf).
c.
Click on “Save”. If you are prompted to replace the
existing file, click on “Yes” to overwrite the existing file
or click on “No” and in the “File name” field type in a
different file name.
6
3.
Go to Document > Redaction > Mark Redaction.
4.
Use your mouse to either highlight and select text or draw a box
around an entire section of text that you want to remove.
5.
Go to Document > Redaction > Apply Redaction.
6.
Select the options of your choice from the “Apply” window and
then click on “Apply”.
7.
Click on “OK” to inspect additional information in this document
and then click on “Remove”. The text that you selected will be
permanently removed from the document. It is no longer
viewable, searchable, or recoverable.
8.
Go to File > Save As and save the redacted version of your document as a different file name.
You will now have your un-redacted original document and a redacted copy.
7
You also have the option to search for a particular word and redact every instance of that word within a document.
1.
From inside of PDF Converter Professional, go to Document > Redaction > Search and Redact.
2.
In the “Search for” field, type the word that you want to redact and click on “Search and Redact”.
3.
In the “Search” window, check the boxes to indicate which instances of the word you want to redact
and click on “Mark Selected Results for Redaction”.
4.
Follow steps 5 through 8 in the instructions above to apply the redaction and save your document.

• Edit PDF Normal Files in PDF Converter Professional
PDF Converter Professional 5 provides the ability to edit PDF Normal files. You can edit the text and
images within these files.
Note: To edit other flavors of PDF files, see the section “Edit any PDF File Using OCR” on the bottom
half of this page for information about using OCR to convert PDF files to text file types for editing.
To edit a PDF file using PDF Converter Professional:
1. Go to Start > All Programs > Nuance PDF
Professional 5 > PDF Converter Professional to
open the PDF Converter Professional application.
2. Go to File > Open.
3. Browse to the location of the PDF file that you
want to edit and then click on “Open”. The PDF
file will be opened in PDF Converter
Professional.
4. Click on the “Touchup Text Tool” or “Touchup
Object Tool” button to select it.
5. Use your mouse to edit the text or image within
the document.
• Edit Any PDF File Using OCR
From the PaperPort Desktop, you can utilize the power of the OmniPage OCR program to convert
any PDF file into an editable file format, such as Word, Excel, or Word Perfect.
OCR or Optical Character Recognition is the process of converting a scanned image or a PDF file
into editable text, such as MS Word, MS Excel, or Word Perfect.
To OCR a PDF file and convert it to MS Word:
1. Drag the PDF file from the PaperPort Desktop down to the Word link. The Word link is automatically
configured to use the OmniPage Professional OCR engine to do an automatic OCR.
2. The “OCR Proofreader” appears, allowing you to proofread the document before it is converted to
Word. Correct any suspect words.
3. The document is automatically opened as a fully editable MS Word document.

Securing PDF Files
In PaperPort Professional, you can adjust the security level of your PDF files. There are two types of
passwords in the program. The open password restricts document accessibility: you can only open it by
supplying the password when prompted. The permissions password allows users to define how the
document may be used. If it is not specified, further use of the file is possible without any restrictions.
To add PDF Security from the PaperPort Desktop:
1.
Right click on the PDF and select “PDF
Security”.
2.
From the “PDF Security” window, check the
options to control opening, printing, or
editing the PDF file.
A. To require the user to enter a
password before they can view the PDF
in the free Adobe Reader or another
PDF viewing or editing application,
check the option for “Ask for a
password…” and enter a password into
the field below it.
B. To disable the ability to print the
PDF, check the option for “Use a
permissions password…” and select
“None” from the “Printing allowed” dropdown menu.
A
C. To disable the ability to edit or
change the PDF, check the option for
“Use a permissions password…” and
select “None” from the “Changes
allowed” drop-down menu.
B
D.Check or uncheck additional security
options, depending on your needs for
this document.
3.
Click on “OK” to activate your security
settings for the PDF file.

Digital Archiving with Text Searchable PDF Files
Text Searchable PDF is the best file format for digital archiving. The reason is that every word inside a Text
Searchable PDF is searchable. These files are searchable, but you can still view the image layer of the
PDF, which looks exactly like the original scanned image.
They can be searched upon using almost any document management software, including SharePoint,
iManage, and Documentum. Also, they can be searched upon using the Search feature in Windows
Explorer.
PPDM provides several ways to create PDF files. For day-forward digital archiving, you can create Text
Searchable PDF files directly on the PaperPort Desktop.
To create Text Searchable PDF files from the PaperPort Desktop:
1. Right click on the PDF file and select “Save As”.
2. From the “Save as type” drop-down menu, select “PDF Searchable Image” as the file type.
3. Click on “Save”. PaperPort automatically engages OmniPage in the background and OmniPage does a
background OCR and makes every word inside of the PDF file searchable.
4. A Text Searchable PDF file copy of the document is saved onto the PaperPort Desktop.
5. You can then drag the Text Searchable PDF file down to a link to your Enterprise Content Management
System, such as Microsoft SharePoint.
6. You can also download a PaperPort ODMA or PaperPort WebDav link that will allow you to drag
documents from the PaperPort Desktop to one of these links and then upload that document into an
Enterprise Content Management system that supports one of those standards. This link is available for
download at http://www.nuance.com/paperport/links

Working with Forms
Creating a Fillable PDF Form
PDF Converter Professional provides you with the ability to convert a blank scanned PDF form or a
blank PDF form that has been downloaded from the Internet into a form that can be filled-in by
anyone using the free Adobe Reader.
1.
From the PaperPort Desktop, right click on the PDF
form and select “View”. The form will be opened in
PDF Converter Professional.
2.
Go to Forms > Form Typer. Form Typer will
automatically detect which areas of the form are
underlines, checkboxes, and radio buttons and it will
make those sections fillable.
3.
To save the fillable PDF form, go to File > Save As
and specify the file name and location where you
want to save the fillable PDF form and click on
“Save”. A fillable version of the form will be saved to
the location that you specified.
4.
Now, anyone can open this fillable PDF form using
the free Adobe Reader and they can tab and type
and fill-in the form.
5.
6.
Please note that if the person filling-in the form does
not have a PDF printer driver, such as PDF Create!
or Adobe Acrobat, installed on their PC, they will not
be able to save the data that is typed into the form.
The completed form would have to be printed to
hard copy. As an alternative, you can add a
“Submit” button your form to allow anyone with the
free Adobe Reader to complete your form and then
email the filled in data back to you. Information
about how to add a “Submit” button is in the
“Advanced Topics” section of this Guide.

Creating OmniPage Workflows
An OmniPage Workflow consists of a series of OCR steps and their settings. OmniPage Workflows allow
you to handle recurring OCR and document conversion tasks more efficiently, because all the steps and their
settings are pre-defined. PPDM comes with some built-in OmniPage Workflows that automate many
common tasks such as converting images or PDF files to Word or Excel.
To create new workflows, use the Workflow Assistant by following these steps:
1. Open OmniPage by going to Start > All Programs > ScanSoft
OmniPage 16 > OmniPage Professional 16.
3
2. Go to Process > Workflows > New Workflow.
3. Click on “Fresh Start”.
4. In the “Workflow name” window, type the name of your
workflow and click on “Next”.
4
5. On the left side of the window, you will see “Step 1 - Load
Files”. Check the box for “Select files for loading each time
this workflow is started” and click on “Next”.
6. At this time, you can select any options of your choice to
complete your workflow. In this example, we will create a
workflow that takes a hard copy document that we scanned at
the MFP, OCRs it, saves it as a Word document, emails this
Word document to our colleague John Smith and saves a
copy of the Word document into the My Documents folder on
our desktop PC. On the left side of the window, you will see
“Step 2 – Recognize Images”. Select any appropriate options
for the language of the document. Otherwise, just click on
“Next”.

On the left side of the window, you will see
“Step 3 – Correct Recognition Res…”.
Within that Step, click on “Click to change
step” and select “Send in Mail”.
8.
From the “File type” drop-down menu, select
“Microsoft Word 2000, XP (*.doc)”.
9.
Click on “Email Properties”.
10.
If prompted, select your Profile Name.
11.
Check the option for “Auto-send”.
12.
In the “To” field, type the email address of
John Smith: [email protected] and
in the “Attachment name” field type
“Contract for review.doc” and click on “OK”
and then click on “Next”.
13.
On the left side of the window, you will see
“Step 4 – Save”. From the “File type” dropdown menu, select “Microsoft Word 2000,
XP (*.doc)”.
14.
Click on “Specify Name and Location”.
15.
Browse to the “My Documents” folder and in
the “File Name” field, type Contract and
click on “OK”.
16.
Click on “Finish”.
17.
Exit out of OmniPage.
18.
You will now be able to select this
OmniPage Workflow and have it appear on
your scanning user interface at the MFP
(see Step 7 on Page 43). In this example,
when we select this OmniPage Workflow
from our scanning user interface at the MFP,
the document will be scanned at the MFP,
OCRed and converted to a Word document,
the Word document will be attached to an
out-going email addressed to John Smith
and a copy of the Word document will be
saved to the My Documents folder on our
desktop PC.

Creating PaperPort Scanning Profiles
A PaperPort Scanning Profile consists of a series of image settings. PaperPort Scanning Profiles allow
you to perform some automated image clean-up and image enhancement at the time of scan. This
allows you to handle these recurring image corrections more efficiently because all the steps and their
settings are pre-defined. PPDM comes with some built-in PaperPort Scanning Profiles that automate
many common tasks such as scanning in black-and-white, grayscale, or color documents, or scanning in
color photos.
To create a new PaperPort Scanning Profile:
1
1. From the PaperPort Desktop, click on the
“Scan or Get Photo” button on the PaperPort
Command Bar.
2. In the “Scan or Get Photos” pane, click on
the “Select” button and the “Available
Scanners” window will appear.
3
3. Click on “PaperPort Virtual PSP Scanner” to
select it. This selection allows you to create
PaperPort Scanning Profiles that can be
used by a networked MFP device.
4. Click on “OK” to close the window.
5. In this example, we will be creating a new
PaperPort Scanning Profile for all of the
documents that we are scanning from one of
our customers ABC Company. All of the
documents from this company are skewed,
all of the text in the document is a bit too
light to read clearly, and there are several
blank pages mixed into the documents, and
we do not want to retain those blank pages.
6. From the “Scan or Get Photo” pane, click on
“New”.

7. In the “Profile name” field, type in the name
of the scanning profile and click on
“Continue”.

8.
Click on the “SET” tab.
9.
In this example, we want to select “Autostraighten” to correct the skewed documents,
we want to select “Auto-enhance” to have the
documents made darker, and we want to
select “Delete Blank Pages” to remove any
blank pages from being saved in our final
scanned image.
10.
Select the “Output” tab to name the document
and select the File Type for the scanned
document. Select the “Scan” tab to select the
resolution of the scanned image. Please note
that any settings selected on the “Output” or
“Scan” tabs will replace settings that were
selected at the MFP. For example, if you
have set the MFP to scan as a TIF image file,
but in the File Type menu on the “Output” tab
you have selected “PDF Image”, the file will
be saved to your PaperPort Desktop as a PDF
image file.
11.
Click on “OK” to close the window.
12.
You will now be able to select this PaperPort
Scanning Profile and have it appear on your
scanning user interface at the MFP (see Step
11 on Page 43). In this example, when you
select this PaperPort Scanning Profile from
your scanning user interface at the MFP, the
document will be scanned at the MFP, it will
be straightened, it will be made darker, and
the blank pages within the document will be
deleted before this scanned image is
delivered to the PaperPort Desktop.
