Splitting FineReader documents
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 proces s each of them as a
separate FineReader document. ABBYY FineReader includes tools for grouping scanned pages into
separate documents.
To split a FineReader document into several documents:
1. On the File menu, click Split FineReader Document… or select pages in the Pages
pane, right–click the selection, and then click Move Pages to New Document…
2. In the dialog box that opens, create the necessary number of documents by clicking the
Add document button.
3. Move pages from the Pages window into their appropriate documents displayed in the
New Documents pane using one of the following three methods:
o Select pages and drag them with the mouse;
Note: You can also use drag–and–drop to move pages between documents.
o Click the Move button to move the selected pages into the current document
displayed in the New Documents pane or click the Return button to return them
to the Pages window.
o Use keyboard shortcuts: press Ctrl+Right Arrow to move selected pages from the
Pages window to the selected document in the New Document pane, and
Ctrl+Left Arrow or Delete to move them back.
4. Once you are finished moving pages into the new FineReader documents, click the Create
All button to create all documents at once or click the Create button in each of the
documents individually.
Tip: You can also drag–and–drop selected pages from the Pages pane into any other ABBYY
FineReader window. A new FineReader document will be created for these pages.
Ordering pages in a FineReader document
1. Select one or more pages in the Pages window.
2. Right–click the selection and then click Reorder Pages… on the shortcut menu.
3. In the Reorder Pages dialog box, choose one of the following:
o Reorder pages (cannot be undone)
This changes all page numbers successively, starting with the selected page.
o Restore original page order after duplex scanning
This option restores the original page numbering of a document with double–sided
pages if you used a scanner with an automatic feeder to first scan all the odd–
numbered pages and then all the even–numbered pages. You can choose between
the normal and the reverse order for the even–numbered pages.
Important! This option will only work if 3 or more consecutively numbered pages
are selected.
o Swap book pages
This option is useful if you scan a book written in a left–to–right script and split the
