38 CHAPTER 5: CONVERTING A SCANNED ITEM TO TEXT
Table
of Contents
CONVERTING PART OF A PAGE TO TEXT
If a page includes graphics and you convert it, the OCR software will try
to convert the graphics to text. The result will be a lot of unrecognized
characters on the page because the software can’t match text characters
with graphics. In that case, select those portions of the page that contain
only text, and convert that selected area.
To convert a portion of a page to text:
1. Display the page
in Page View.
2. Click the
Selection
tool on the
Annotation
Tool Bar.
3. Drag around
the portion of
text you want to
convert.
4. From the Edit
menu, choose
Copy As Text.
5. The OCR
progress window
shows that the
conversion is
taking place.
The selected text
is copied to the
Clipboard.
