design elements, find tables and analyze their contents, and then compile all of the resulting data
into an editable document that mirrors the original's appearance.
P
Page analysis is the process of identifying areas on an image. Page analysis can be carried out
automatically by clicking the Convert button or manually, before starting conversion.

selected for the document, other users will not be able to change these settings until they type the
password.
