ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
When you save an OCR project, not only the page images and recognized text are saved, but also
any patterns and languages you created while working on the project.
Closing an OCR project
·
To close an OCR project, click File > Close.
Splitting an OCR project into several projects
When processing large numbers of multi-page documents, it is often more practical to scan all the
documents first and only then analyze and recognize them. However, to preserve the original
formatting of each paper document correctly, ABBYY FineReader must process each of them as a
separate OCR project. ABBYY FineReader includes tools for grouping scanned pages into separate
OCR projects.
To split an OCR project:
1. Right-click anywhere in the Pages pane and select Move Pages to New OCR Project... on
the shortcut menu.
2. In the dialog box that opens, create the necessary number of OCR projects by clicking the
Add OCR Project button.
3. Move pages from the Pages pane to another OCR project using one of the following
methods:
·
Select the pages and drag them with the mouse.
You can also use drag-and-drop to move pages between OCR projects.
·
Use the Move and Return buttons. The Move button will move the pages to the current
project.
·
Press Ctrl+Right Arrow to move the selected pages from the Pages pane to the current
OCR project or press Ctrl+Left Arrow or Delete to move them back to their original
project.
4. When you are done, click Create to create a new OCR project or Create All to create all
projects in one go.
Tip. You can also drag-and-drop selected pages from the Pages pane into another instance of the
OCR Editor. The selected pages will be appended to the end of the OCR project.
Reordering pages in an OCR project
1. In the Pages pane, select one or more pages.
2. Right-click anywhere in the Pages pane and select Reorder Pages... on the shortcut menu.
3. In the Reorder Pages dialog box, choose one of the following:
