1) Check your current PaperPort version on your PC
- Open PaperPort.
- Go to Help (or About).
- Look for the version/build number displayed in the About dialog.
- Write it down so you can compare it to the latest available release.
2) Confirm the latest version from a trusted source

3) Update PaperPort safely
- Backup first: If you have important scanned documents, ensure your PaperPort library is backed up.
- Close PaperPort: Fully exit the application before installing updates.
- Install the update: Run the installer for the latest version you identified.
- Restart Windows: If the installer requests it, restart before launching PaperPort again.
- Verify: Re-check Help > About to confirm the version changed to the new build.
4) Compatibility checklist (recommended)
Before updating, confirm these items to avoid issues like scanning errors or library import problems:
- Windows version: Ensure your Windows build is supported.
- Scanner software: Some scanners rely on TWAIN/WIA drivers that may need updates.
- PaperPort features: If you use OCR, indexing, or specific integrations, confirm they are supported in the newer build.
5) If you cannot update, use the “repair” approach
If the installer fails or PaperPort behaves unexpectedly after an update, try these steps:
- Run a Repair option from Windows Apps & Features (if available).
- Reinstall the latest PaperPort build after removing the previous version (only if your workflow allows it).
- Check scanner driver updates separately.
