o The option Use columns instead of frames creates columns
instead of text frames to position the information on the page.
Columnized texts are easier to edit than documents containing multiple
frames: the text flows naturally from one column to the next.
Note: should Readiris be unable to detect columns in the source document,
then frames are still used as substitute solution.
Tip: use this option when generating Word documents.
o The option Insert column breaks inserts a hard column break at
the end of each column, which maintains the format of the text.
Any text you edit, add or remove, remains inside its column; no
text flows automatically across a column break.
Tip: disable this option (Insert column breaks) when you have body text
that contains columns. You'll ensure the natural flow of the text from one
column to the next.
o The option Add image as page background places the scanned
image as page background beneath the recognized text.
Note: this option increases the file size of the output files substantially.
The format PDF Text-Image modifies PDF files in the same manner.
To avoid the file increase discussed above, select the option Retain colors
of background on the Options tab. This provides a similar but less drastic,
more compact alternative.
