ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
The PDF Editor offers various image processing options that can enhance the source image and let
you improve the quality of recognition results.
You can set image processing options when scanning paper documents, creating a PDF document
using image files, as well as by using the button. To do so, click the arrow icon next
to the button and select Image Processing Settings... from the drop-down list.
·
Image quality — the image quality and size of the output file will depend on the value
specified in the drop-down list of the Image quality group:
§
Best quality
Select this option of you need to preserve the original image quality of pages and
images. Their original image resolutions will be preserved as well.
§
Balanced
Select this option if you want to reduce the size of the document but still maintain a
high enough quality of pages and images.
§
Compact size
Select this option if you want the output file to be a PDF document of a compact size.
This will reduce the quality of the pages and images.
§
Custom...
Select this option to specify your own custom options for saving pages and images. In
the Custom Settings dialog box that will open, select the required values and click OK.
·
Recognize text on images — mark this option to add a text layer.
This will create a text-searchable PDF document, the appearance of which will be almost
identical to the original document.
·
Use MRC compression (specify OCR languages below) — mark this option to apply a
compression algorithm that uses Mixed Raster Content (MRC) to the recognized pages. This
will allow the file size to be reduced without a loss in image quality.
·
Apply ABBYY PreciseScan to smooth characters on image — mark this option to use
ABBYY's PreciseScan feature. ABBYY PreciseScan makes document characters less pixelated
when page scaling is increased.
·
OCR languages — to get the best possible recognition quality, it is important to specify the
correct recognition languages. See also: Document features to consider prior to OCR .
