o Save FineReader document
Here you can specify the folder to which the FineReader document should be saved.
Specify what options the program should use to save the results. You can choose between the
global options specified in the program at the time of saving or the options which you will specify
for this particular task.
Remove any unnecessary steps from the task using the button.
Note: Sometimes, removing one step will also cause another step to be removed. For instance, if
you remove the Analyze step, the Read step will also be removed, as recognition cannot be
carried out without analyzing an image.
Once you have configured all the required steps, click Finish.
The newly created task will appear on the My Tasks tab of the Task window. You can save your
task as a file using the Task Manager (click Tools > Task Manager… to open the Task Manager).
You can also load a previously created task: on the My Tasks tab, click Load from Disk and select
the file containing the task that you need.
In ABBYY FineReader you can modify, copy, delete, import, and export custom automated tasks. For
