ABBYY FineReader 9.0 User’s Guide
● Exact copy
Produces a document that maintains the formatting of the original. This option is recommended for documents with
complex layouts, such as promotion booklets. Note, however, that this option limits the ability to change the text and
formatting of the output document.
● Formatted text
Retains fonts, font sizes, and paragraphs, but does not retain the exact locations of the objects on the page or the
spacing. The resulting text will be left–aligned.
● Plain text
Same as Formatted text, but does not retain font sizes.
Save mode
Select the desired save mode:
● Full (uses CSS) – Saves the file to HTML 4 and applies a built–in style sheet. The formatting of the original document is
retained.
● Simple (compatible with old browsers) – Saves the file to HTML 3. Some of the formatting of the original
document may be lost (e.g. first line indents or fonts sizes). This format is supported by all browsers, including older
versions (e.g. Internet Explorer 3.0).
Text settings
● Keep line breaks
Retains the original arrangement of lines.
● Retain text color
Retains the original color of the letters.
● Use solid line as page break
This option saves the original arrangement of pages; the pages are separated by a solid line.
● Keep headers and footers
Preserves headers and footers in the output document.
Picture settings
Documents containing a large number of pictures are very large. To reduce the size of the file, select the desired option.
Tip:
● Select No pictures if you don't need pictures in the output file.
● Select Custom… to specify picture settings manually. In the Custom Picture Settings dialog box, select the desired
settings and click OK.
Character encoding
ABBYY FineReader detects the code page automatically. To change the code page or its type, select the desired code page or
code page type from the drop–down lists under Character encoding.
Saving in PPT
To save your text in PPT:
1. On the toolbar at the top of the Text window, select Microsoft PowerPoint Document (*.ppt) 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.

the PPT tab. The saving options on this tab are grouped into the following categories:
