Renumbering Pages in ABBYY FineReader Documents

icons (in Details view) or below the page thumbnails (in Thumbnail view).
To change a page number, do one of the following:
● Select a page, click its number or press F2, and then type a new number.
● Right–click anywhere in the Document window and select Renumber Pages… from the shortcut menu. In the Renumber
Pages dialog box, type a new number for the first page in the document and click OK.
Once the page number has been changed, all the pages in the Document window will be re–ordered to reflect the new numbering.
Recognition with Training
The Training mode is used for:
● texts set in decorative fonts
● texts containing unusual characters (e.g. mathematical symbols)
● long (more than a hundred pages) documents of low print quality
Use the Training mode only if one of the above applies. In other instances, the slight increase in recognition quality will be outweighed
by considerably longer processing times. For instructions on enabling the Training mode, see Paper Document Contains Decorative
(Non–Standard Fonts.
