Saving in PDF
To save your text in PDF:
1. On the toolbar at the top of the Text window, select PDF Document (*.pdf) from the drop–down list next to the Save button.
From the drop–down list below, select the desired saving option.
2. Click the Save button.
Tip: Additional saving options are available in the Options dialog box: select Tools>Options…, click the 3. Save tab, and then click
the PDF tab. The saving options on this tab are grouped into the following categories:
Default paper size
From the Default paper size drop–down list, select the paper size to be used for saving in PDF format.
Save mode
Depending on how you are planning to use your electronic document, select one of the best option below:
● Page image only
This option saves the exact image of the page. This type of PDF document will be virtually indistinguishable from the original but
the file will not be searchable.
● Text and pictures only
This option saves only the recognized text and the associated pictures. The page will be fully searchable and the size of the PDF file
will be small. The appearance of the resulting document may slightly differ from the original.
● Text over the page image
This option saves the background and pictures of the original document and places the recognized text over them. Usually, this
PDF type requires more disk space than Text and pictures only. The resulting PDF document is fully searchable. In some cases,
the appearance of the resulting document may slightly differ from the original.
● Text under the page image
This option saves the entire page image as a picture and places the recognized text underneath. Use this option to create a fully
searchable document that looks virtually the same as the original.
● PDF/A Document
Select this option to create a fully searchable PDF that looks like the original for archiving purposes.
Depending on the save mode you select, some of the following options will become available:
● Replace uncertain words with images
Select this option to replace words that contain uncertain characters with their images when saving in PDF.
● Retain text and background colors
Select this option to retain the font color and background when saving in PDF.
● Keep headers and footers
Preserves headers and footers in the output document.
● Enable Tagged PDF (compatible with Acrobat 5.0 and above)
Select this option to add PDF tags into the output PDF document.
Apart from text and pictures, PDF files can contain information about the document structure such as logical parts, pictures, and
tables. This information is encoded in PDF tags. A PDF file equipped with PDF tags may be reflowed to fit different screen sizes and
will display well on handheld devices.
● Use Mixed Raster Content
Select this option to retain the visual quality of the text and the pictures in a highly compressed document.
Picture settings
If your document contains a large number of pictures, the resulting file may be very large. You can reduce its size by selecting picture
settings manually.
Tip: Select Custom… to specify picture settings manually. In the Custom Picture Settings dialog box, select the desired settings and
click OK.
