Introduction to

PageKeeper

PageKeeper helps you easily organize, find, and use documents on your 
computer. You can get paper documents off your desk by scanning them 
into PageKeeper. You can also keep track of other computer documents, 
such as word-processing files, spreadsheet files, and Web pages, by 
adding them to PageKeeper’s folder system. 

Once you have added documents to PageKeeper, you can organize them 
into folders, arrange related documents into groups, preview and copy 
the contents of documents, make annotations on documents, open 
documents in their own and other applications, and find documents 
whenever you need them.
