Page Layout Analysis
Before starting the recognition process, ABBYY FineReader must
know which image areas it needs to recognize. To achieve this,
the page layout analysis process identifies text blocks, picture
blocks, table blocks, and barcode blocks.
In this chapter you will learn more about: when manual page
analysis is necessary; what block types are available; how to edit
blocks drawn using automatic layout analysis; and how to
streamline the layout analysis with block templates.
