User's Guide

PDF is a widely used document format. PDF documents appear the same on different computers, can be protected with passwords, and are well suited for storage in electronic archives.

To save your text in PDF:

Click the arrow next to the Save button on the main toolbar and then click Save as PDF Document…. If the format that you need is not displayed in the list, click Save in Other Formats… and then select the desired format from the Save as type drop-down list. Alternatively, on the File menu, click Save Document As and then click PDF Document.

Text and pictures only

This option saves only the recognized text and the associated pictures. The page will be fully searchable and the size of the PDF file will be small. The appearance of the resulting document may slightly differ from the original

Text over the page image

This option saves the background and pictures of the original document and places the recognized text over them. Usually, this PDF type requires more disk space than Text and pictures only. The resulting PDF document is fully searchable. In some cases, the appearance of the resulting document may slightly differ from the original.

Best quality (source image resolution)
