FineReader must know which image areas it needs to recognize before starting
the recognition process. Page layout analysis provides it with this information by
identifying text blocks, picture blocks, table blocks, and barcode blocks (note: the
latter are only available in the Corporate Edition).
In this chapter you will learn more about the following: when manual page
analysis may be needed, what block types are available, how blocks drawn using
the automatic layout analysis procedure can be edited, and also how the layout
analysis process can be made easier by using block templates.
Chapter Contents:
● General information on page layout analysis
