ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
Select the appropriate setting depending on how you plan to use the output document.
1. Exact copy
Preserves the formatting of the original document. This setting is recommended for
documents with complex layouts, such as promotion booklets. Note, however, that it limits
your ability to change the text and formatting in the output document.
2. Editable copy
Produces a document in which the formatting may differ slightly from that of the original.
Documents produced in this mode are easy to edit.
3. Formatted text
Retains paragraphs but does not retain the exact positions of objects on the page and line
spacing. The text produced will be left-aligned. Texts in right-to-left scripts will be right-
aligned.
Vertical texts will become horizontal.
4. Plain text
Discards most formatting. Preserves only the font styles if the Keep bold, italic, and
underlined text styles in plain text option is enabled.
