Automating document processing with ABBYY FineReader
(Not available in some versions of ABBYY FineReader 14. See also:
http://www.ABBYY.com/FineReader
In ABBYY FineReader, you can use built-in and custom automated tasks to process your documents.
You can organize your tasks in the Automated Tasks... dialog box.
· To open the Automated Tasks dialog box, click Tools > Automated Tasks.
The toolbar at the top of the Automated Tasks dialog box contains buttons for creating, modifying,
copying, deleting, importing, and exporting tasks.
To process a document using an automated task, start the task in Tasks window.
Creating Custom Automated Tasks
You can create your own automated tasks if you need to include processing steps that are not available
in the built-in automated tasks. The order of steps in an automated task must correspond to the order of
processing operations in the OCR Editor.
1. On the toolbar, click New.
2. In the left-hand pane, choose an OCR project to be used:
· Create new OCR project
If you choose this option, a new OCR project will be created when you start the task. You will
also need to specify which document options to use when processing your documents: the
global options specified in the program or the options specified in this particular task.
· Select existing OCR project
Select this option if you want the task to process images from an existing OCR project.
