Imaging for Windows 4
Imaging for Windows provides the Imaging
component for Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and 8.
OpenText Global 360 Imaging for Windows 4.0 has desktop imaging functions in a
single, easy-to-use application that enables users to scan, edit and store
paper-based documents. With Imaging for Windows, users can easily convert
paper-based information into digital documents that can be viewed, edited, OCRd,
distributed via email, and posted to or downloaded from the Internet.
Compatible with Microsoft® Windows 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP, Imaging for
Windows 4.0 introduces a range of new features that enable greater efficiency
and productivity, most notably the ability to view and print PDF files and a new
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) within the application viewer that lets you
display multiple documents at the same time, with each document displayed in its
own window. This enables you to work on different document types using a common
viewing platform. For example, you can view both a TIFF image from a scanning
application and a PDF document on the same screen at the same time.
