Page Types
The quality and layout of your original page influence the way True Page
reproduces its appearance.
These factors influence True Page output:
• Accurate text recognition is essential to duplicating the original
page’s appearance successfully.
For accurate text recognition, the print on the page should be
reasonably clean, crisp, and free of notes, lines, or doodles.
Characters must be distinct: separated from each other and not
blotched together or overlapping.
• Highly stylized formatting is difficult to replicate.
Pages with rectangular text and graphic blocks and non-stylized
fonts are the best candidates for True Page formatting.
• TrueType fonts substituted by True Page may not take up the same
amount of space that your original fonts did, so line and paragraph
lengths may vary.
• True Page results may vary for different page types.
Experiment with various settings to get the best results for your
particular page.
The next sections describe different types of pages and recommended
settings for True Page output.
Multiple-Column Documents
Newspaper and magazine articles are examples of multiple-column
documents. If you use True Page for these types of documents, select the
Multiple Columns
zoning method for best results.
True Page tries to replicate the font attributes, paragraph structure,
column structure, and text and graphic positioning of the original page.
The document is formatted in frames in the OmniPage text window. These
frames are exported intact when you save the document to an appropriate
file format.
The
Multiple Columns
zoning method tries to identify and retain graphics
on a page when you select
Retain Graphics
in the Settings Panel. If graphics
are missed during OCR, try drawing zones manually and identifying
graphics with the
Graphic
zone contents file.
