Editing area properties
When performing automatic document analysis, ABBYY FineReader detects different area types on
document pages, such as table, picture, text, and barcode areas. The program also analyzes the
document structure and identifies headings and other layout elements, such as headers, footers, and
captions.
You can manually change incorrectly defined properties in some text and table areas.
1. Select an area in the Image or Zoom pane to display its properties in the Area Properties pane.
This pane displays the following editable properties:
· Language
See OCR languages .
· Function
Displays the function of the text, i.e. whether it is a header or a footer, a footnote, etc. (applies
only to text areas).
· Orientation
See If vertical or inverted text was not recognized .
· Print type
See Document features to consider prior to OCR .
· Inversion
See If vertical or inverted text was not recognized .
· Direction of CJK text
See Working with complex-script languages .
Note:
a. Use the / buttons to navigate the properties dialog box if the Image pane is not wide
enough to fit the entire dialog box.
b. Some properties of text in text areas can be changed using the shortcut menu of these areas.
2. After you have made the desired changes, be sure to recognize the document again so that the
changes you made to the areas are reflected in the recognized text.
For more information about areas, see Editing areas .
