folder. You will need to either specify a folder or choose to have the program
prompt you to select one every time the task starts.
o Scan
If you choose this option, you will need to scan the pages.
Note:
c. This step is optional if earlier you chose Select existing document or Use current
document.
d. If images are added to a document that already contains images, only the newly
added images will be processed.
e. If a FineReader document to be processed contains some pages that have already
been recognized and some pages that have already been analyzed, the recognized
pages will not be processed again and the analyzed pages will be recognized.
Add the Analyze step to detect areas on the images and configure this step:
o Analyze the layout automatically, then adjust areas manually
ABBYY FineReader will analyze the images and identify the areas based on their
content.
o Draw areas manually
ABBYY FineReader will ask you to draw the appropriate areas manually.
o Use an area template
Select this option if you want an existing area template to be used when the
program analyzes the document. You will need to either specify a template or
choose to have the program prompt you to select one every time the task starts.
For details, see "If You Are Processing a Large Number of Documents with Identical
Layouts."
Add the Read step if you need the images to be recognized. The program will use the
recognition options you specified in step 3.
Note: When you add the Read step, the Analyze step is added automatically.
Add a Read step to save the recognized text in a format of your choice, e–mail the text or
images, or create a copy of the FineReader document. A task may include multiple Read steps:
o Save document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options and the
folder where the file should be saved.
Note: To avoid specifying a new folder each time the task is started, select Create a time–
stamped subfolder.
o Send document
Here you can select the application in which to open the resulting document.
o E–mail document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the e–mail
address to which the file should be sent.
o Save images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the folder
where the image file should be saved.
Note: To save all images to one file, select Save as one multi–page image file (applicable only
to images in TIFF, PDF, JB2, JBIG2, and DCX).
o E–mail images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the e–mail
address to which the image file should be sent.
