Disabling automatic processing
By default, any pages you add to a FineReader document are automatically recognized.
However, if your document contains text in a CJK language combined with a European language, we
recommend disabling automatic page orientation detection and using the dual page splitting option
only if all of the page images have the correct orientation (e.g., they were not scanned upside
down).
The Detect page orientation and Split facing pages options can be enabled and disabled on
the Scan/Open tab of the Options dialog box.
