ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
Options dialog box
The Options dialog box contains a variety of options that let you decide how documents will be
scanned, opened, recognized, and saved into various formats, as well as change OCR languages, the
language of the interface, the print type of input documents, and some other options.
There are several ways to open the Options dialog box:
· In the New Task screen, click the Options button in the lower-left corner.
· In the New Task screen, click Tools > Options....
· In the PDF Editor, click Tools > Options....
· In the OCR Editor, click Tools > Options....
Buttons, links or commands that open the Options dialog box will also be available when you convert or
scan files in the New Task screen, on toolbars and on shortcut menus of toolbars in the PDF Editor and
the OCR Editor, and in the dialog boxes that appear when you save documents.
The Options dialog box has seven tabs, each of which contains settings specific to certain ABBYY
FineReader functionality.
General
On this tab, you can:
· Choose which part of the program will open when you start ABBYY FineReader 14: the New Task
screen, the OCR Editor with a new OCR project, or the OCR Editor with the most recently used
OCR project.
· Specify which device you want to use to get images, and choose a scanning interface.
ABBYY FineReader uses a built-in dialog box to display the scanning settings . If the scanning
interface of ABBYY FineReader 14 is incompatible with your scanner, you can use your scanner's
native interface. The scanner's documentation should contain a description of this dialog box and
its elements.
· Make FineReader the default program for opening PDF documents.

Image Processing
This tab contains three groups of options:
· Enable background recognition in the PDF Editor
When this option is enabled, all pages that are opened in the PDF Editor will be recognized
automatically. This process runs in the background and adds a temporary text layer to PDF
documents, making it possible to search them and copy their text.
Use the link at the bottom of this group to specify the language(s) of your document.
