ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
1. Switch to 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 text for editing.
During this time, a page preparation indicator will be displayed under the toolbar.
This 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, see Document 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. Edit the text in the PDF document.
You can:
·
Add new text to an existing text block
To do this, place the cursor into the text block and type the appropriate text or paste the
text from the clipboard.
The program will pick a suitable font automatically.
Note: the name of the current font is displayed in the list on the toolbar. A pair of square
brackets around a font name means that the font is built into the edited PDF document,
but has not been installed on your system. To use this font when typing new text, install it
on your system first. Otherwise, the program will pick the default font.
·
Delete text from an existing text block
To do this, select the text you want to delete and delete it.
