Stacking and Unstacking Images

Stacking combines separate scanned images into a single multi-page image. Stacking is handy for combining invoices with a billing statement, for example.

A stack of thumbnails is identifiable by the page count in the lower right of the stack.

Stacking options are set up on the General tab in the Tools / Options menu.

This topic includes the following procedures:

To stack images:

  1. From the Indexer dialog box, select the images you want to stack.

A blue border displays around the active images.

  1. Do one of the following to select images for stacking:

  1. Click the Stack button to stack the selected items.

If you have the Show config screen when stack/unstacking option checked in Tools / Options, the Stack Images dialog box displays, allowing you to determine the names and destination of the newly stacked images.

  1. Add document annotations after stacking. When you stack documents, annotations are merged along with the documents. This results in color annotations being converted into gray, if the underlying image being stacked is grayscale. However, if you add annotations after stacking, the colors remain.

To unstack images:

  1. Click to activate a stack as described above. A blue border displays around the stacked image.

  2. Click the Unstack button.

If you have the Show config screen when stack/unstacking option checked in Tools / Options, the Stack Images dialog box displays, allowing you to determine the names and destination of the newly unstacked images.
