ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
In the dialog box that opens, select the OCR language(s). You can also image preprocessing to
correct the orientation of pages, deskew the image, straighten distorted text lines, and remove
other defects.
Once the document has been recognized, you can begin editing it.
4. Editable lines of text will be enclosed in frames. Click the line of text you want to edit and add,
delete or change the text or change its font, font size and font style using the tools on the Text
toolbar.
When you click a line of text, the program will automatically select a font that is as close to the
font used in the original text line as possible.
5. To finish editing a line of text, click anywhere outside the line.
6. Click the button to exit the text editing mode.
7. Save the document.
Inserting and editing pictures
The PDF Editor allows you to insert pictures into any type of PDF document.
1. Click the button on the PDF Tools toolbar.
2. In the dialog box that opens, select a picture and click Open.
3. Move the picture to the desired location on the page.
You can move, rotate, delete, and resize pictures. When you move a picture, it may overlap with
other objects on the page. To bring an overlapping picture to the foreground, right-click it and
select Bring Picture to Front.
To delete a picture:
· To delete a picture in a PDF document created in another application, right-click the picture and
click Delete on the shortcut menu.
· You can delete a part of the document image and anything that it may contain, including pictures.
To do this, click the tool on the PDF Tools toolbar and select the area you want to erase.
The Erase tool deletes pictures and text, automatically selecting the appropriate background
color to fill the empty space.
