Combining documents

You can quickly combine multiple images that you want to be stored in Document Center as multiple pages of the same document. For example, you may want to combine a series of intraoral or extraoral images taken during a single visit.

Notes:

You can only combine documents in the Document Center Unfiled Documents window. You cannot combine documents that are attached to an entity (such as a patient or provider) in the main Document Center window.

You can only combine documents that are of an image file type (such as .png or .jpg). You cannot combine non-image files (such as .pdf, .doc, or .xls files).

To combine documents

In Document Center, do one of the following:

On the Acquire toolbar, click the Unfiled Documents button .

On the Acquire menu, click Unfiled Documents.

The Document Center Unfiled Documents window opens.

Select one or more documents that are of an image file type.

The top-most image that is selected will be on the first page of the new document, the next image down that is selected will be on the second page, and so on.

Click the Combine Documents button .

Note: This button is available only if more than one document is selected and if the documents are of an image file type (such as .jpg).
