ABBYY FineReader Tasks
Document processing with ABBYY FineReader often involves the same execution sequence, e.g.,
scanning and recognizing a document, and then saving the results in a particular format. In order
to execute the most frequently used tasks, ABBYY FineReader offers quick tasks enabling you to
recognize text with only one mouse click.
Quick tasks are launched from the New Task window, which opens by default after the application
loads. If the New Task window is not displayed, click the main toolbar and then click the New
Task button.
1. In the New Task window, select the desired task:
• Common Tasks
• Microsoft Word tasks
• Adobe PDF tasks
• E–book tasks
• Other tasks
• My Tasks
2. Select recognized languages from the Document language drop–down menu. Additional options
are available (at the bottom of the window) for automated tasks used to convert data into a
Microsoft Word document or an Adobe PDF document.
3. In the Color mode drop–down list, select full color or black–and–white.
• Full color preserves the original image colors.
• Black–and–white converts images to black–and–white, reducing the size of the ABBYY
FineReader document and speeding up OCR.
Important! Once the document is converted to black–and–white, you will not be able to
restore the colors. To get a color document, open the file with color images or scan the
paper document in color mode.
4. Click the appropriate button for your automated task.
