Files to open

2007-09-04 Thread tom samson
I have some files that are old visioneer paperport files and I would  
like to translate them to jpg or the like in OSX. Any suggestions  
welcome.
2. I have two dvds I copied from an old videotape that was damaged in  
a flood a few years back
BBC recording of Supernature unseen powers of animals. They were made  
on a philips dvd machine does anyone have any idea how I can finalise  
them on any other machine?

Hi Tom,

I would think GraphicConvert could convert PaperPort files.

If you can get you hands on a copy of the OS X version of Paperport  
viewer 5.6 it will open old PaperPort documents directly.

You can then save them in just about any graphic file format except PDF.
Of course you could then use Save as PDF in the print dialog box.

Cheers,
Ronni

Some discussion here:

http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/scanners/topic2039.html

Indicates you could try GraphicConverter if you've got '.MAX' files, 
or the visioneer software under Windows under 
parallels/VirtualPC/VMWare/a PC.


If you can still run Mac OS 9 the software may be available via

Good luck,
Shay
