Annotations

Annotation capabilities allow users to mark up images on-screen and save them separately or burn them into the document. The user can add arrows, underline text, highlight areas, and add post it notes and time/date stamps all with the simple click of the mouse. Annotations in the Document Imaging Component are Flicker Free! That means no need to worry about readers seeing a blacked out word, name or salary when downloading the image.
