ABBYY® FineReader 15 User’s Guide
If tables and pictures are not detected
If a table is not detected
Table areas contain tables and text that is arranged in a table-like manner. If the program fails to
correctly draw a table area around a table, use the Table tool to draw the area manually.
1. Click on the toolbar at the top of the Image pane and use the mouse pointer to draw a
table area around the table.
2. Right-click the table and click Analyze Table Structure on the shortcut menu, or click
on the pop-up toolbar of the table area.
3. Use the pop-up toolbar, the shortcut menu of the table area, or the commands on the Area
menu to edit the results.
4. Run the OCR process again.
You can also assign the Table type to an area of a different type. To do this, right-click the area and
click Change Area Type To > Table on the shortcut menu.
If ABBYY FineReader failed to correctly detect the rows and columns in a table automatically, you can
adjust the layout manually and run the OCR process again.
