ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
1. Switch to the editing mode.
You can do so by navigating to the Edit Content tab or by using the Ctrl+E hotkey.
Note: you might have to wait some time for the program to prepare the document for
editing. During this time, a page preparation indicator will be displayed under the toolbar.
Doing so will make text and images on the page be marked as separate blocks:
Note: when working with scanned documents and searchable PDF documents, it is
important to specify the correct languages, especially when background recognition is
disabled. For more details, seeDocument features to consider prior to OCR .
Tip: before starting your work with scanned documents and searchable PDF documents, it is
sometimes best to correct the page orientation, skew, distorted text, and other defects .
2. Click the button on the toolbar or press Ctrl + T on the keyboard. This will
enable the editing tools in the toolbar.
3. Place the cursor in the particular spot where you want a new text block to be added and
mark out a rectangular shape of the appropriate size for your new text block or left-click
once for a text block of a default shape.
Note: the size of the new text block cannot be larger than the page itself.
Note: you can create new text blocks over other objects.
