ABBYY® FineReader 15 User’s Guide
Image processing options
To customize the scanning and opening of pages in ABBYY FineReader, you can:
·
enable/disable background recognition in the PDF Editor
·
enable/disable automatic analysis and recognition of pages when they are added into the
OCR Editor
·
specify image preprocessing settings
You can select desired options either when opening a PDF document, images or scans in the New Task
Window or on the Image Processing tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open
this dialog box).
Any changes you make in the Options dialog box will only be applied to newly scanned/opened
images.
The Image Processing tab of the Options dialog box contains the following options:
Enable background recognition in the PDF Editor
background recognition will be used for all pages you open in the PDF Editor. Background recognition
allows you to search and copy text even in documents that do not have a text layer (e.g. documents
that contain only scans or that were created from images). No permanent changes are made to the
document itself.
On this tab, you can also specify the OCR languages .
If you want to enable other users to carry out text searches in this document, click File > Recognize
Document > Recognize Document....
Automatic analysis and recognition of images added into the OCR Editor
By default, pages are analyzed and recognized automatically, but you can change this behavior. The
following modes are available:
·
Recognize page images (includes preprocessing and analysis)
When images are opened in the OCR Editor, they will be automatically preprocessed using the
settings selected in the Image preprocessing settings (apply to conversion and OCR) group
of settings. Analysis and OCR are also performed automatically.
·
Analyze page images (includes preprocessing)
Image preprocessing and document analysis are performed automatically, but OCR has to be
started manually.
·
Preprocess page images
Only preprocessing is carried out automatically. Analysis and OCR have to be started manually.
This mode is commonly used for documents with complex structures.
