Operation Manual

Layout Options

The Layout Options play an important role when generating Word processor documents (DOCX,

ODT, RTF), Spreadsheet documents (XLSX) and Web page documents (HTML). They determine for a

large part what your final documents will look like.

Which layout options are available depends on the output format you select. When you select an

image output format, such as PDF Image, or TIFF, for instance, these options are not available.

See the sections Layout Options (Text Documents) and Layout Options (Spreadsheet Documents)

for more information.

Graphics Options

The Graphics Options determine how the graphic zones will be presented in the output documents,

e.g. in black-and-white or in color. They also define their resolution.

Note: when you select an output format or application that does not support images, then the

Graphics Options will be unavailable in Readiris.

See the section Graphics Options for more information.

Page Size

The Page Size options allow you to define in which paper size (e.g. A4, Letter, Legal) your output

documents will be generated.

These options are available for DOCX, ODT, RTF and XLSX.

See the section Page Size for more information.

PDF Options

When generating PDF documents, only the specific PDF Options are available. These include

bookmarking, iHQC-compression and password protection.

See the sections PDF Options and PDF Passwords for more information.

Layout options (Text documents)

The Layout Options play an important role when generating Word processor documents (.docx, .rtf,

.odt), Spreadsheet documents (.xlsx) and Web page documents (.htm). They determine for a large

part what your final documents will look like.

Below you find a description of what each Layout option does and examples of real documents. The

specific Layout options for Spreadsheet documents are discussed in the section Layout Options

Spreadsheet Documents.

Note: the Layout tab is of course unavailable when you select PDF or image files as output

format. PDF is a fixed-layout format and by default re-creates the original layout of the

document.

Note: if any Layout option is unavailable for the output format you selected, this means the

option in question is not supported.

 The option Create body text generates a continuous, running line of text. The result is a

document without any formatting. The formatting is to be done manually, by the user, in

another application.
