Using the Right-Click Menu on Files

When you right-click on a file, a menu opens to display the actions you can perform.

Select Open to open a file using the default program you have set on your computer—such as Adobe Acrobat for PDF files, Microsoft Word for .docx or .doc files, and Microsoft Excel for .xlsx files.
Select Edit to edit PDF files or image files (such as .jpeg or .png files). This opens the Scan Document window allowing you to make changes to a PDF or image file. Right-click on a page to access the options (e.g., rotate, delete a page, add a note, highlight, stamp, add a checkmark, or x mark).
Select Open with to view the options available to open a file. These options will vary depending on the programs you have installed and the file you attempt to open.
Select Send To to view the available options for moving a file to your computer or a recipient. Any choices below the line are dependent on your computer and will vary based on the settings in your operating system.

Note

Using some of these tools, such as Fax Recipient or Mail Recipient, uses an unencrypted file and attaches the file to fax or email. These tools should never be used with confidential files.
