Auto-zone a page background
Acquire a page. It appears with a process background. Draw a zone. The
background changes to ignore. Draw text, table or graphic zones to
enclose areas you want manually zoned. Click the Process background
tool (shown) to set a process background. Draw ignore zones over parts of
the page you do not need. After recognition the page will return with an
ignore background and new zones round all elements found on the
background.
