Annotate Scanned Documents

(Document Scanning users)

Via the Document Imaging Viewer, you can annotate scanned documents or imported TIF files (no other type of imported files can be annotated). The annotation tool set includes freehand drawing, highlights, boxes, redact (hides any part of the document), sticky note (looks like a Post-It note), stamped text, and free text.

  1. Display the document you want to annotate in the Document Imaging Viewer.

  2. Click Tools (F4). The Tool Selection dialog displays.

For more information about the various annotation tools, click any of the following:

Freehand  

Highlight

Rectangle

  5. To move an annotation, place your cursor inside the annotation until it becomes a four-direction arrow, then click and hold the left mouse button and drag the annotation to the desired location.

  6. To delete an annotation, select Edit from the Tool Selection dialog. Then click on the annotation you want to delete (sizing handles will display), and press Delete on your keyboard.
