tman70 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have some medical records from old drive that were copied using PaperPort. In transfering them to new drive, I have to use a PaperPort viewer to read them. Is there a way to change them from Max files to something else so I don't have to use the viewer to read them?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tman70 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I don't kow if this helps but I did find this:paperport viewerI am still looking into converting them.Michael Thanks for replying. I'm using the viewer and I have graphic convertor from Corel. My problem is I can open the file which is text using the viewer, but when I try to change it using the graphic convertor I can't find the file. Only the folder shows and when you open it there is nothing in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tg1911 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Once you open it in your viewer, can you copy & paste it into something like Word, or Notepad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tman70 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I can only "save as" and when I try to open it in wordpad or notepad it is all gibberish.Right now I am working with image convertor and MWSnap 3.My problem is I cannot scroll to capture the whole page. If I reduce it in size, then I can't read it That computer is not hooked up to a printer, so I am going to burn a page to cd and then print it out on this computer to see if the page is normal.Tman70 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxdog4 Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I've used this app many times w/good results:Batch ConverterHope this helps.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tman70 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks maxdog4 for the converter program. I'll check it out later. I can convert my files using image converter or Mssnap 3.My problem is when I use the PaperPort Viewer and open a file, I can not see the whole page. Therefore I can not capture the whole page, only what is showing in the screen. If I zoom out to make the whole page appear, then I can not read it when I convert it as it is too small. So I have to copy the top half and then the bottom half.I was wondering if there is a way to get the whole page in viewer since I can't scroll or is that feature only in the paid version. I don't know if I am making any sense here or not.Thanks any way for all the advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
