Options dialog box
The Options dialog box contains a variety of options that let you decide how documents will be scanned, opened, recognized, and saved into various formats, as well as change OCR languages, the language of the interface, the print type of input documents, and some other options.
There are several ways to open the Options dialog box:
- In the New Task screen, click the Options button in the lower-left corner.
- In the New Task screen, click Tools > Options....
- In the PDF Editor, click Tools > Options....
- In the OCR Editor, click Tools > Options....
Buttons, links or commands that open the Options dialog box will also be available when you convert or scan files in the New Task screen, on toolbars and on shortcut menus of toolbars in the PDF Editor and the OCR Editor, and in the dialog boxes that appear when you save documents.
The Options dialog box has seven tabs, each of which contains settings specific to certain ABBYY FineReader functionality.
General
On this tab, you can:
- Choose which part of the program will open when you start ABBYY FineReader 14: the New Task screen, the OCR Editor with a new OCR project, or the OCR Editor with the most recently used OCR project.
- Specify which device you want to use to get images, and choose a scanning interface.
ABBYY FineReader uses a built-in dialog box to display the scanning settings. If the scanning interface of ABBYY FineReader 14 is incompatible with your scanner, you can use your scanner's native interface. The scanner's documentation should contain a description of this dialog box and its elements. - Make FineReader the default program for opening PDF documents.
If you install ABBYY FineReader on a computer running Windows 7 on which no default PDF viewing application is selected, ABBYY FineReader will automatically become the default program for opening PDF documents.
This tab contains three groups of options:
- Enable background recognition in the PDF Editor
When this option is enabled, all pages that are opened in the PDF Editor will be recognized automatically. This process runs in the background and adds a temporary text layer to PDF documents, making it possible to search them and copy their text.
Use the link at the bottom of this group to specify the language(s) of your document. - Automatically process page images as they are added to the OCR Editor
This option enables or disables automatic processing of newly added pages. If automatic processing is enabled, you can select general document processing options and image preprocessing settings to be used when scanning and opening images: - Recognize page images (includes preprocessing and analysis)
Newly added images in the OCR Editor will be preprocessed using the settings specified in the Image preprocessing settings (apply to conversion and OCR) group of options. Analysis and recognition will also be performed automatically. - Analyze page images (includes preprocessing)
Image preprocessing and document analysis are performed automatically, but OCR has to be started manually. - Preprocess page images
Only preprocessing is carried out automatically. Analysis and OCR have to be started manually. - Image preprocessing settings (apply to conversion and OCR)
ABBYY FineReader 14 lets you automatically remove common defects from scans and digital photos.
