Converting Databases for Use in PageKeeper Pro
94 Chapter 6
Expected results after PageKeeper 2.x conversions:
• A folder named PageKeeper 2.x Conversion is created on the
PageKeeper Pro desktop. All of the documents from your
PageKeeper 2.x database are added to this folder with their
original PageKeeper names. (The original 2.x folder structure is
not preserved.)
• Folders for subsequent database conversions are named
PageKeeper 2.x Conversion followed by a sequential number.
• PageKeeper Documents are converted to TIFF (Packbits) files or
text files, depending on whether they are image-based or text-
based. The physical files are saved to a physical folder named
PageKeeper 2x Documents. This folder is created under PageKeeper
Pro’s default folder for new documents, which is specified in the
New Document tab of the Options dialog box.
• PageKeeper Documents that contain images with text
information (through OCR) are saved as TIFF (Packbits) files and
corresponding text files. These files are saved as clipped groups
in PageKeeper Pro.
• Links to external files (external file indexes) are not preserved
during conversion. However, you can use PageKeeper Pro’s
Folder Watch feature to quickly add links back to your documents.
See “Adding Documents Automatically with Folder Watch” on
page 45 for more information.
• PageKeeper notes are converted to 3M Post-it
®
Notes.
Visioneer PaperPort Conversions
Please read this section before converting a PaperPort database to
PageKeeper Pro. When you are ready to start conversion, see page 92 for
instructions.
Important information:
• You must have Visioneer PaperPort installed on your computer
in order to convert your PaperPort database.
• You will need free disk space that is approximately 3 times the
disk space that the current database occupies.
If you do not have enough disk space on the drive where
PageKeeper Pro is installed, you can use disk space on another
drive for saving converted TIFF files. (These files use
approximately half of the total disk-space requirement.) To do so,
change the default folder in the
New Documents tab of
PageKeeper Pro’s Options dialog box to a folder on the desired
drive. Make sure you have write access to that drive.
