4. Read
The options used for recognizing images depend on the options selected at the FineReader
document step.
5. Save / Send
At this step, you can select the formats to which ABBYY FineReader should save the
recognition results. You can also program ABBYY FineReader to send the results to a certain
application, send the acquired images or text by e–mail, or create a copy of the ABBYY
FineReader document. An automated task may have more than one saving step.
Specify the saving options to be used:
• Use the saving options selected in the program when the task starts
• Use custom saving options
• Save document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, and the folder where the file should be
stored.
Note: To avoid specifying a new folder each time the task is launched, select Create
a time–stamped subfolder.
• Send document
Here you can select the application in which to open the resulting document.
• E–mail document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, and the e–mail address to which the
file should be sent.
• Save images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, and the folder where the image file
should be stored.
Note: To save all images to one file, select Save as one multi–page image file
(only for TIFF and PDF).
• E–mail images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, and the e–mail address to which the
image file should be sent.
• Save FineReader document
Here you can specify the folder to which the ABBYY FineReader document should be saved.
Managing Automated Tasks
An ABBYY FineReader automated task is a set of successive steps. Each step corresponds to one of
the document recognition stages. Similar actions can be automated using tasks.
Automated task management includes creating, editing, starting, and deleting custom automated
tasks. Tasks are managed via the Task Manager dialog box.
