PaperPort Viewer, a separate application, comes with PaperPort and lets
others view PaperPort items without PaperPort. PaperPort Viewer is
available for free on the Visioneer Web site at http://www.visioneer.com.
You can also send PaperPort Viewer to someone else by attaching it to an
e-mail message.
