OCR. If you save in another file format, you must open it in an application that
supports that format.
3. Type in a name for the file in the File Name box.
4. Click Save.
The text and format information of the document is saved in the format you've
selected.
5. Choose Close from the File menu.
You just completed your first job using Pro OCR. Many of the jobs for which
you use Pro OCR are as quick and simple as this one. You can now continue
by completing the rest of the examples in this guide.
Instead of getting and processing a document from a scanner, you can also process a
file that was saved on disk. You can use this procedure to read TIFF, PCX, or DCX
files produced by Pro OCR or other applications.
For this example, use the file, SAMPLEB.TIF, in the Pro OCR directory. This is a
document that has a graphic. Because of the difference between this document and the
one used in the previous example, you will change the options in the Gallery toolbar.
Although this document has a graphic, let's assume you don't want to save the
graphic.
You can either set the options before each step or set them all at once. In this example,
you'll set them as you go along.
To set the OCR options and get a file from disk:
1. Select Open File from the Get Page drop-down list.
2. Click the Get Page button in the Gallery toolbar.
The Get Page dialog box appears.
