Best Results

For scanned manuals and comics, use PDF or comic archive formats when possible. For loose page images, place the images in a folder or archive with filenames that sort in reading order.

Examples:

• Manual - Page 001.png
• Manual - Page 002.png
• Manual - Page 003.png

If a File Does Not Open

Check that:

• The file exists and is not blocked by Windows.
• The file is not password protected.
• The archive is not damaged.
• Image files inside an archive are named in the order you expect.
• The format is listed above.
