Using PaperPort
Sending Items as E-mail Attachments
PaperPort works with many popular e-mail programs.
To e-mail an item, simply drag and drop the item to your e-mail program on the
Send To bar. The e-mail program starts, and PaperPort attaches the item to the new
e-mail message (Figure 28).

An E-mail Message with Attachment
The e-mail recipient receives the message and can open the attachment to view the
item you sent.
Viewing e-mail attachments
Windows does not provide a viewer for a PaperPort image item (.max file). When
you send a PaperPort image item (.max file) as an e-mail attachment:
◆
A recipient who has PaperPort on their computer can view the item you send.
◆
A recipient without PaperPort can download the free
PaperPort MiniViewer
from the ScanSoft web site. Once the recipient downloads and installs the
MiniViewer, the recipient can view all .max file attachments.
For recipients without PaperPort or the PaperPort MiniViewer, you can convert
PaperPort image items (.max files) to a common image format, such as JPEG, BMP,
or TIFF.
PaperPort also provides two special formats that make it easy for a recipient to view
PaperPort image items:
