ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
Enable this option if you want to use the ABBYY PreciseScan technology to smooth out the characters
in the document. As a result, characters will not look pixelated even when you zoom in on the page.
Searchable PDF settings
This group of options lets you decide what elements of your PDF document you want to save.
Depending on how you are planning to use your document, select one of the following options:
· Text and pictures only
This option saves only the recognized text and the associated pictures. The page will be fully
searchable and the size of the PDF file will be small. The appearance of the resulting document
may slightly differ from the original
· Text over the page image
This option saves the background and pictures of the original document and places the recognized
text over them. Usually, this PDF type requires more disk space than Text and pictures only. The
resulting PDF document will be fully searchable. In some cases, the appearance of the resulting
document may slightly differ from the original.
· Text under the page image
This option saves the entire page as an image and places the recognized text underneath. The text
layer makes it possible to search the document and copy text, while the page images insure that
the document looks virtually the same as the original.
Create bookmarks from headings
Select this option if you wish to create a table of contents from the document headings.
Create PDF tags
Select this option to add PDF tags to the output PDF document.
Apart from text and pictures, PDF files can contain information about the document structure, such as
logical parts, pictures, and tables. This information is stored in PDF tags. A PDF file equipped with PDF
tags may be reflowed to fit different screen sizes and will display well on handheld devices.
Fonts
When saving texts in PDF, you can use either Adobe fonts or the Windows fonts installed on your
computer. To specify the font set to be used, select one of the following items from the drop-down list:
· Use predefined fonts
The PDF file will use Adobe fonts, for example: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New.
· Use Windows fonts
The file will use the Windows fonts installed on your computer.
To embed fonts in the PDF document, select the Embed fonts option. This will make the document file
larger, but the document will look the same on all computers.
The Embed fonts is only available for Text and pictures only and Text over the page image PDF
documents.
Preserve document metadata, such as authors and keywords
