PDF (Portable Document Format) files are often classified into three different types, commonly called flavors:

  • PDF Image

  • PDF Searchable Image

  • PDF Formatted Text & Graphics (PDF Normal)

You can create one or more of these PDF flavors, depending upon your version of PaperPort software.
