– Create a new file at each blank page to treat the pages as a set of groups, each group ending with a blank page. The
pages from different groups are saved into different files with names that are formed based on a user–provided name
with an index appended (–1, –2, –3, etc.)
– Create a single file for all pages to save all pages to a single file
● In the File name field, type in a name for the file into which recognized text will be saved.
