When you create a new document from a revisable, multi-page image document, you can either:

  • Create a revision of the original document by deleting the new document's pages from the original document.

  • Save the new document as a revision of the original.

Note:

When creating a new document from an earlier revision of a document, the new document uses pages from that revision of the document, not pages from the latest revision of the document.

From an open document or a document selected in the Document Search Results list:

  1. Right-click and select Send To | Create New Document. The Create new document from existing dialog box is displayed.
  2. Specify the following:
