Basic Steps of Creating a Web Page
These are the basic steps of OmniPage Web’s HTML-conversion
process.
1 Bring a document image into OmniPage Web.
You can scan a paper document or load an image file. The
resulting image appears in OmniPage Web’s image view. See
“Bringing Document Images into OmniPage Web” on page 24 for
more information.
2 Create zones to identify areas you want to recognize as text or
retain as graphics.
Zones are borders that enclose the areas of a document image that
will get processed. You can create zones automatically, manually,
or with a template. Any areas not enclosed by zones are ignored
during OCR. See “Creating Zones for OCR” on page 27 for more
information.
3 Perform OCR to convert text information into editable text
characters.
During OCR, OmniPage Web interprets text characters in an
image. After OCR, you can check and correct errors in the text
using the OCR Proofreader. See “Performing OCR on a
Document” on page 28 for more information.
4 Outline the original document structure.
During outlining, OmniPage Web examines the document
structure and creates an outline of the original document objects
based upon the zone order. See “Outlining a Document” on page
30 for more information.
5 Select additional HTML components and set output formatting
options.
After outlining, you can select how you want the objects formatted
and include additional HTML
components to make your Web page
more interesting and effective. See “Selecting HTML
Components” on page 33 for more information.
6 Save and test your Web page.
Save your document and test it in more than one browser to be
sure that the formatting is acceptable. You can choose
Save and
Launch... in the Export button’s drop-down list to automatically
launch your browser when you save the HTML document. See
“Testing Your HTML Document” on page 41 for more information.
