Automatic—Choose this option to let the OCR process
determine the layout of the pages. It is the fastest type of
format processing. Typically you select this option when the
document has different or unknown types of layouts, pages
with multiple columns and a table, or pages containing more
than one table. The OCR process will then determine if text is
in columns, an item is a graphic or text, and tables are present.
Single column no table—Choose this option if the document
contains only one column of text and no tables. Business
letters are normally in this form. You can also use this option for
documents with words or numbers in columns if you do not
want them placed in a table or decolumnized or treated as
separate columns.
Multiple columns, no table—Choose this option if some
document pages contain text in columns and you want it kept in
separate columns, similar to the original layout. If table-like
data is encountered, it is placed in columns, not in a gridded
table.
Single column with table—Choose this option if your
document contains only one column of text and a table. The
table will be placed in a grid in the text editing application you
have selected. You can later specify whether to export it in a
grid or as tab-separated text columns.
Spreadsheet—Choose this option if the entire document
consists of a table that you want to export to a spreadsheet
program, or have treated as a table. No flowing text or graphics
zones will be detected.
Template—If you created a zone template in OmniPage Pro
12, choose a zone template file to have its background value,
zones and zone properties applied to all OCR scanned pages
from now on.
No Formatting (NF)—The document will be plain text,
decolumnized and left-aligned in a single font and font size.
You can export plain text to nearly all file types and target
applications, and graphics, tables and bullets can be retained.
When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics and
tables are not supported.
Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)—This output format
retains the font and paragraph styling, including graphics and
tables without columnized text. This output format is available
for nearly all file types.
Flowing Page (FP)—This format keeps the original layout of
the pages, including columns. This is done wherever possible
with column and indent settings, but not with text boxes or
frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which
does not happen when text boxes are present.
