General Information on Working with Batches
ABBYY FineReader automatically creates a new batch upon starting. A batch may contain up
to 9,999 pages.
Tip : Saving similartype pages (e.g. pages from the same book, those written in the same lan
guage, or those with a similar layout) in the same batch is often useful, since it stream
lines the work process.
The Batch window displays a list of the pages contained in the open batch. To view a page,
click on its icon or doubleclick on its page number. All files related to this batch page will
open in the appropriate windows, i.e. the text file in the Text window, the image file in the
Image window, etc.
There are two main ways of displaying pages
in the Batch window:
To choose the page view in the Batch window:
● Click either or on the Standard toolbar, or
● Right–click the Batch window and select the View >... item in the local
menu.
To customize the Batch window to display specific features or sort according to certain
criteria:
● Rightclick the Batch window and select Batch View>Customize in the
local menu. A dialog will open. Select the appropriate options on the
Thumbnails and Details tabs of the dialog.
This view provides detailed information about each batch page in the
batch window and offers page lists organized by a userspecified fea
ture. The batch window accommodates a large number of pages,
which is useful when organizing large batches. Open a page by double
clicking on it.
Details
Batch pages are displayed as thumbnails (a miniature image of the
original page). Additional icons appear on the thumbnails as the
images are processed, to provide information about which actions
have been performed on them (e.g. recognition, saving, etc.).
Thumbnail images are particularly useful when searching for a particu
lar batch page. To open an image, click on its thumbnail.
