Documents in OmniPage Pro
OmniPage Pro 11 handles documents one at a time. When you acquire
your first image (from scanner or from file) a new document is started.
Further acquired images are added to the same document, until you save
and close it.
A document in OmniPage Pro consists of one image for each document
page. After you perform OCR, the document will also contain recognized
text, displayed in the Text Editor, possibly along with graphics and tables.
For more information on screen areas, see the section
The OmniPage Pro

.
Basic processing steps
There are two main ways of handling documents: with automatic
processing or manual processing. See chapter 3
Tutorial: Processing
Documents
for more information. The basic steps for both processing
methods are broadly the same:
1. Bring a set of images into OmniPage Pro.
You can scan a paper document with or without an Automatic
Document Feeder (ADF) or load one or more image files. The
resulting images appear in miniature in the Document Manager’s
Thumbnail view and the pages are summarized in its Detail view.
The image of the current page is displayed in the Original Image
area.
2. Perform OCR to generate editable text.
During OCR, OmniPage Pro creates
zones
around elements on the
page that will be processed, and then interprets text characters or
graphics in each zone. Manual and template zoning are also possible.
After OCR, you can check and correct errors in the document using
the OCR Proofreader and edit the document in the Text Editor.
3. Export the document to the desired location.
You can save your document to a specified file name and type, place
it on the Clipboard, or send it as a mail attachment. You can save it as
an OmniPage Document (OPD) as described later. You can save the
same document repeatedly to different destinations, different file
types, with different settings and levels of formatting. See chapter 5.
