Chapter 8 - Saving into External Applications and Formats
Retain pictures
If you choose this option, pictures will be saved together with recognized text. The option is only avail-
able in the case of RTF, DOC, and HTML formats.
Image resolution (RTF/DOC, PDF, and HTML formats)
Sometimes you may wish to reduce image resolution. For example, HTML files are normally viewed using
browsers, and high-resolution files, due to their size, are usually unwelcome on the Internet. To reduce
image resolution (and, consequently, HTML file size) without lowering image quality, enter a lower resolu-
tion value in the
Reduce picture resolution to field on the Formats>RTF/DOC (PDF, HTML) tab.
Note: If you enter a higher resolution value than the one originally entered in the Reduce picture
resolution to field, this value will be ignored; the pictures will be saved using the source resolution.
JPEG quality (saving in PDF and HTML)
When you save the text in PDF and HTML formats, the pictures are saved in JPEG format.
This format uses a so-called "quality loss" algorithm to compress the image, i.e. the compressing tech-
nology is based on averaging groups of pixels, so that a whole region is saved as a single number rather
than a large amount of different numbers for each pixel. The quality of the image will be determined by
the value specified in the
JPEG quality field (Tools>Formats, PDF and HTML tabs). A value in the
range 1 - 100 may be specified (the default value is 50 – the average value).
The higher the value you specify in this field, the higher the quality of the saved image. The size of the
image is also affected by this value: the higher the value, the larger the *.jpg file that is created. To obtain
the most favorable size/quality combination, save the image using different JPEG values, and open it in
an image viewing application. The JPEG quality value is set on the
Formats>PDF (HTML) tab.
Fonts to use (when saving in RTF, DOC, or HTML format)
By default the fonts specified on the Formatting tab are used when saving in RTF, DOC, or HTML for-
mat. You can, however, change the fonts that are used. Change fonts in the
Text window or select other
fonts on the
Formatting tab in the Fonts group and re-read the document.
Save all batch pages or selected ones only
You may either save all batch pages or selected ones only. To save only certain pages, select them before
saving.
Recognized text saving modes
(when saving several batch pages at a time)
● Create a separate file for each page - each batch page is saved as a separate file. The
batch page number is automatically added to the end of each file name.
● Name files as source images - use this option to save each page in a separate file the name
of which is to be the same as that of the original image.
Note:
1. Pages that are not related to the original image (e.g. scanned pages) will not be saved in this
mode. A warning will be displayed if such a page is encountered among those to be saved.
2. If a number of consecutive batch pages all contain the same image as the original image or
the images all have the same name, the pages will be treated as a multi-page TIFF and the
text saved into a single file. If a number of pages have identical names but are not in
consecutive order, the pages will be treated as individual image files, and the text saved in
different files, with an index appended to their file names: _1, _2, etc.
