'''PaperPort (MAX)''' is a proprietary image format used in early versions of the PaperPort document scanning and management software (from Nuance Communications). Later versions switched to using the [[PDF]] format instead, making it possible to use standard tools with the files instead of being locked into proprietary tools from the original vendor.
