Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)
This exports decolumnized text with font and paragraph styling, along
with graphics and tables. This is available for nearly all file types.
Flowing Page (FP)
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is
done wherever possible with column and indent settings, not with text
boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which
does not happen when text boxes are used.
True Page (TP)
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is
done with text, picture and table boxes and frames. This is offered only
for target applications capable of handling these. True Page formatting is
the only choice for XML export and for all PDF export, except to the file
type 'PDF Edited'.
Spreadsheet
This exports recognition results in tabular form, suitable for use in
spreadsheet applications.
Decolumnization for NF and RFP export is performed from left-to-right
and top-to-bottom:

Before export, check in NF or RFP view that the decolumnized order of
elements is correct. If not, switch to True Page view and click the Show
reading order tool to have the order shown by arrows. Use the Change
reading order tool to specify a different order. Multicolumn areas show
which columns are linked. If this linking is unsuitable, ungroup the area
and change the order of the elements it enclosed.
