Important! When a built–in task is launched, ABBYY FineReader uses the options selected at the
moment of launch. If you adjust the options, launch the task once again to recognize the texts with
these new options.
Other Tasks
Use the Other tab in the New Task window to access the other quick tasks available in ABBYY
FineReader.
1. In the Document language drop–down list at the top of the window, select the document
languages.
2. In the Color mode drop–down list, select full color or black–and–white.
Important! Once the document is converted to black–and–white, you will not be able to restore
the colors.
3. Click the appropriate button for your task.
• Scan to Other Formats scans a paper document and converts it into any of the
supported formats
• File (PDF/Image) to Other Formats converts a PDF document or image file into
any of the supported formats
• Photo to Other Formats converts a digital photo into any of the supported
formats
4. A new document with the recognized text will be opened.
Important! When you run a quick task, data are converted based the program's current options. If
you have changed application options, re–run the task to recognize text with the new options.
Tip. If you do not see a task that suits your purposes, you can create your own automated task.
See Automated Tasks for detailed instructions.
Custom Automated Tasks
(only ABBYY FineReader Corporate Edition)
Custom automated tasks offer more processing steps than the built–in quick tasks. The steps in a
task correspond to the document processing stages in ABBYY FineReader.
