Splitting an ABBYY FineReader Document
When processing large numbers of multi–page documents, it is often more practical to scan all the
documents first and only then analyze and recognize them. However, to preserve the original
formatting of each paper document correctly, ABBYY FineReader must process each of them as a
separate FineReader document. ABBYY FineReader offers tools to group scanned pages into
separate documents to which they belong.
To split an ABBYY FineReader document into several documents:
1. On the File menu, click Split into Several Documents… or select pages in the Pages window,
right–click the selection, and then select Create New Document with Selected Pages….
2. In the Split Document dialog box, click Add document to create the required number of
FineReader documents.
