Table analysis options
Usually, the application divides tables into rows and columns automatically. If additional tuning of table options is needed, open the
Legacy Options dialog and in the Read group select the desired item. (To open the Legacy Options dialog, click the Legacy
Options... button on the General tab in the Options dialog). Change these options if:
● automatic page layout analysis has drawn the table rows and columns incorrectly;
● the document contains a large number of simple tables of the same type (i.e. there are no merged cells or there is
always only one line of text per cell).
1. Use the One line of text per cell in table option if your table has no (or minimal) black separators
and each cell has only a single line of text. For example:
Kilometers Miles
1 0.62
5 3.2
– this table has only one line of text per cell
Physical phenomenon t, degrees centigrade
Water boiling point 100
Water freezing point 0
– this table has more than one line of text per cell
2. Use the No merged cells in table option if your table has no merged cells in it. For example:
Temperature
Degrees centigrade Degrees Kelvin
–273 0
100 373
– the Temperature cell is a merged cell
Note: Do not select One line of text per cell in table and/or No merged cells in table if the text contains tables with differing
structures. Selecting these options may result in errors during layout analysis and may adversely affect recognition quality.
