Section 8: Editing the Recognition Zones

Ignoring a certain zone
In case your document only contains content in a certain area of the
page, you can use the Ignore option to exclude the remainder of the
page from the recognition.
 Click Ignore in the Layout group.
 Then draw a frame around the section that contains the
information. Everything outside the frame will be ignored.
Note: you can also use this option to create Zoning
templates, in case all your documents have a similar
layout. See the section Using Zoning Templates.
Recognizing the content of a particular zone
In case you only want to recognize the content of a particular text
zone, and you don't need a fully converted output document, then
you can use the Copy as Text option.
 Right-click the text zone you want to recognize.
 Then click Copy as Text.
