About enhancing pages and images

PaperPort provides several buttons you can use to adjust or improve color, grayscale, and black-and-white documents and images.

For example, you can rotate and straighten scanned pages, improve lines in a form, and remove “dirt spots” from a scanned business card or document. In addition, you can lighten an underexposed photograph, adjust color in a color image, sharpen a fuzzy picture, and many more.

Tip

Be sure your settings are suitable for all pages you plan to scan with this profile.

You can apply these image enhancement tools to PDF files, but PDF Viewer Plus provides a set of enhancement tools specifically tailored to working with PDF pages. See the PDF Viewer Help.
