How True Page Works
Using True Page
Ordinarily, you use OCR to turn a printed page into editable electronic
text. Regardless of the original page layout, the resulting text appears in a
single column. You then save this text in a file format suitable for your
target application (such as a word processor) where you apply your own
page layout and formatting.
True Page offers a solution for retaining the original look of a page during
the OCR process. In addition to turning images into text, True Page tries
to preserve font and paragraph formatting and the positioning of text and
graphics on a page.
True Page handles documents differently depending on the type of page
you process and the Settings Panel options you select. To get the most
benefit out of True Page, learn how to identify your page type and select
the appropriate settings for it.
