A part of the image is not sharp enough.
Solution: Try setting a higher aperture value. Take pictures from a greater distance at
maximum optical zoom. Focus on a point between the center and the edge of the image.
·
The flash causes glare.
Solution: Disable the flash or try using other light sources and increasing the distance
between the camera and the document.
Options dialog box
The Options dialog box contains a variety of options that let you decide how documents will be
scanned, opened, recognized, and saved into various formats, as well as change OCR languages, the
language of the interface, the print type of input documents, and some other options.
There are several ways to open the Options dialog box:
·
In the New Task screen, click the Options button in the lower-left corner.
·
In the New Task screen, click Tools > Options....
·
In the PDF Editor, click Tools > Options....
·
In the OCR Editor, click Tools > Options....
Buttons, links or commands that open the Options dialog box will also be available when you convert
or scan files in the New Task screen, on toolbars and on shortcut menus of toolbars in the PDF Editor
and the OCR Editor, and in the dialog boxes that appear when you save documents.
The Options dialog box has seven tabs, each of which contains settings specific to certain ABBYY
FineReader functionality.
General
On this tab, you can:
·
Choose which part of the program will open when you start ABBYY FineReader PDF: the New
Task screen, the OCR Editor with a new OCR project, or the OCR Editor with the most
recently used OCR project.
·
Specify which device you want to use to get images, and choose a scanning interface.
ABBYY FineReader uses a built-in dialog box to display the scanning settings . If the
scanning interface of ABBYY FineReader PDF is incompatible with your scanner, you can use
your scanner's native interface. The scanner's documentation should contain a description of
this dialog box and its elements.
·
Make FineReader the default program for opening PDF documents.
