Saving and Printing Documents
suspect and illegible characters if there are any left, check spelling, and search for
numbers, punctuation, symbols, and alphanumeric words. However, because you

Text files take up a lot less space than image files. Image files are large, even when
compressed.
Saving to Standard Image File Formats
You can save a document in a variety of TIFF formats and in PCX format. Only
page images are saved, even if pages have already been located or recognized. You
can save to these formats at any time, as long as you have pages in your document.
NOTE: When you use Save As to save to formats other than Pro OCR, Pro OCR
Text Only, or Pro OCR Deferred format, you must still save the document in one of
the Pro OCR formats to be able to use the text again in Pro OCR.
You can open a document saved in TIFF or PCX format in many image editing
applications.
NOTE: Many image editing programs can only support one image page per file,
For this reason, the Save As command has an option that lets you save a multipage
document as a sequence of single-page TIFF files. PCX files are always saved as
one image page per file.
Saving to Generic Text File Formats
You can save in the generic text formats only after recognizing. The following
formats are general purpose text formats that many word processor, spreadsheet,
and database applications can import, either directly or using a filter or conversion
process.
NOTE: Windows and Windows applications use the ANSI standard for
representing text in text files. DOS and DOS applications use the ASCII standard. If
you save in one of the text formats (Plain Text, Text with Line Breaks, Formatted
text, Tab Delimited Text, or Comma Delimited Text) and plan to use this text in a
DOS application, make sure to select the Convert to DOS ASCII option in the Save
As dialog box.
