Create and Remove Attachments

You append pages as attachments or split attachments to create more attachments. You can also delete attachments. The Document task bar provides you with the features to accomplish these tasks:

Capture an Attachment

You can add a new attachment to a document by scanning pages or importing files.

To add a new attachment:
  1. If needed, press Ctrl+Alt+S and set a capture source. If scanning, place pages in the scanner.
  2. In the Batch pane, right-click the document to which you want to add attachments and then select Capture Attachment. Alternatively, you can click Capture attachment on the Document pane toolbar.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If importing from a source other than a scanner, then in the Select Files to Import dialog, select the required documents and click OK. In the Import dialog, choose Create one attachment for all import files or Create one attachment per import file and then click OK.
    • If scanning, then in the Capture dialog, choose either Scan one page or Scan all pages and click OK.
    The attachment is added.

Split an Attachment

To split an attachment:
  1. In the source attachment, select the page on which you want to create a new attachment.
  2. On the Document pane toolbar, click Split attachment.
    A new attachment that starts with the current page and includes all pages below it is created and listed below the source attachment in the Batch pane.

Note:

You can perform this task only for image attachments.

Delete an Attachment and Its Pages

To delete an attachment and its pages:
  1. Select the attachment you want to delete in the Batch pane or select one of its thumbnails in the Document pane.
  2. Click Remove/delete attachment in the Document pane toolbar.
  3. Click Yes to delete the selected attachment and all its pages.
